UFC 85: Bedlam
tests the waters in London,
England on June 7th. We are
in for a real treat with 13
scheduled fights making it
one of the largest cards UFC
fans have ever seen. While
Chuck Liddell fanatics will
not see him fight as he was
forced to withdraw with a
hamstring injury, the Matt
Hughes vs. Thiago Alves main
event is a more than
adequate substitute.
Jimmy Boyd provides the
UFC 85 odds in this preview
and highlights the action
for you rabid mixed martial
arts fanatics.
Bet the Hughes vs. Alves
fight at BodogLife.com
Legend of the welterweight
division, Matt Hughes, needs
no introduction. When he
faces off with Thiago Alves
on June 7th, he'll be
gunning for his third
170-pound crown in the UFC.
Even with Liddell bowing
out, fans will get there
money's worth when top ten
ranked contender Thiago "Pitbull"
Alves and the two-time
former UFC World Champion
Matt Hughes tango across the
ocean. Alves heads into this
one off five straight wins
and his Muay Thai style just
might be the answer to
foiling Hughes' power
wrestling maneuvers. But
Hughes has not won 43 of his
49 professional fights by
accident. With big wins over
St-Pierre, BJ Penn, Sean
Sherk, Frank Trigg, and
Royce Gracie, no opponent is
too much for him to overcome
This card is no one fight
wonder either. With 13
action packed bouts, fans
will be on the edge of their
seats all night long. UK
superstar Michael "The
Count" Bisping will get to
throw down in his home land
against Chris "The Crippler"
Leben and "Sugar" Rashad
Evans will step up to the
plate against the knockout
king, James "The Sandman"
Irvin.
Bet the Bisping vs. Leben
fight at BodogLife.com
Bisping rose to stardom on
season three of The Ultimate
Fighter when he won the
competition. Winning that
competition has proven to be
no fluke as "The Count" has
gotten off to a fast 16-1
professional start. He has
won five of six UFC bouts
and dropping down to the
middleweight division should
make him an even bigger
force to be dealt with. "The
Crippler" has crippled 18 of
his 22 opponents in his
professional career and will
be looking to add another
one to the list here. Leben
knows only one speed and has
brick hands that throw
plenty of haymakers. In
other words, you can't ease
into a fight against him
because he is ready to go
from the first bell.
Bet the Evans vs. Irvin
fight at BodogLife.com
Rashard Evans is undefeated
through 17 pro bouts with 16
wins and a draw. He is one
of the more versatile
competitors you'll see,
using wrestling and standup
maneuvers, combined with
great athleticism and sheer
determination, to crush his
opponents. Irvin is known as
the hardest hitter in the
light heavyweight division.
If you relax for one
instant, you can find
yourself on your back
staring up at the lights. He
ended Houston Alexander in
just eight seconds back on
April 2nd.
