This Saturday will have UFC 140 were a clash for the UFC Light heavyweight champion where Jon Jones will defend his title against former champion Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida. Additional the Nogueira's brother will a piece of action against Frank Mir and Tito Ortiz. This will be the 4^th fight for Jones in a year gap and if he wins this fight he will be solidifying his status of super star something very impressive considering he only has 24 years old.

Jon "Bones" Jones vs. Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida

Until now Jon Jones has been looking very impressive in his performances leaving traces of invincibility. He dominated "shogun" Rua like no one has done before to win the title and later defended against "Rampage" Jackson in one side bout also where he submitted Jackson. The only loss for Jones in his career is a disqualification for using illegal downward elbows to Matt Hamill. Technically he still undefeated.  He can use a very versatile striking where he throws punches and kicks from different angles and also uses the spin elbow very often. His long reach helps him to attack from a long distance and his wrestling helps him to neutralize the opponents if they close the distance. His challenger, Lyoto Machida was at one time considered invincible. Nobody was able to solve Machida's puzzle until "Shogun" showed that Machida could be beaten and he did when he ko Machida in their rematch. Machida also lost to "Rampage" in a close decision Since Jones beat "Rampage" and Machida lost to "Rampage" many can thing that this fight is a piece of cake for Jones. But in MMA this type of math doesn't work because styles make fights and Machida has the tools to dethrone Jones. Machida's ability to counter punch can be a problem for everyone and he is very fast and probably will match Jones quickness. "The Dragon" uses his karate to be very elusive where he punches and disappear from danger and always throw kicks in different and difficult s angles. Machida's abilities will be a strong test to Jones.

Bottom Line: Machida's long reach fight where he throws punches to later backup will be a bad plan for fighting Jones. The champion has a very long reach that will difficult things for Machida. In Machida's favor he has a lot of experience and Jones hasn't be tested yet in bad situations. However that speaks highly of Jones he hasn't seen in bad situations because he had looked too impressive so far. Machida is a tough fight for everyone but Jones seems to be in another league and I expect him to show another spectacular victory to retain his title.

Frank Mir vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira

This is a rematch from their match at UFC 92 where Frank Mir won by ko in the second round. In that fight Frank Mir dominated the fight in the standup and never tried to make a grappling match. Frank Mir will probably want to do the same thing in that fight. A lot has happened from that fight and maybe this fight can go different. Frank Mir comes with 2 victories but he didn't look too impressive in those fights. Mir is a great grappler that lately has focus in the standup and since his loss to Brock Lesnar he has tried to gain weight to be able to compete with the top 5 of the division. Nogueira is a legend in this sport but he is not the same fighter that he used to be. He use to have one of the best chins in the sport but years of punishment has seems to change that. His last fight was a win over Brendan Schaub where Nogueira showed that he still has some left in his tank.

Bottom Line:  I believe this fight will take a similar path to the previous one. In that fight Nogueira supposedly was sick and he claims to avenge his loss.  I believe that Frank Mir is better in the standup and he will neglect any grappling match to keep the fight in the standup and win by ko once again.

 

Tito Ortiz vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira

Antonio Rogerio Nogueira is Rodrigo Nogueira twin brother. Like his brother he will be looking for respect in this fight against former UFC Light heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz. Rogerio has a great boxing but has seems to have problems with wrestlers. His last 2 fight are losses against wrestlers. Like his brother Minotauro he has great grappling skills. Tito Ortiz is a name mane people know since he is one of the pioneers of this sport. He used to be a great force in this division where he use to takedown almost everybody and use the ground and pound. His wrestling doesn't seem to be as effective like before. He won a surprising victory over Ryan Bader but later lost to Rashad Evans. He is the underdog in this fight and he will be looking to show that he deserve to be in the UFC.

Bottom Line: Many people think that this is an easy fight for Rogerio but I don't agree with them. It's true that Tito Hasn't looked very good in his last fight but his last fight was against #2 in the division Rashad Evans. Rogerio hasn't looked very good in his previous fight too. Maybe he will be able to defend Tito's takedown but Tito can land some punches and is a very strong fighter. I expect Tito to wear Rogerios and in the 3^rd round win by ground and pound

Brian Ebersole vs. Claude Patrick

Brian Ebersole was suppose to fighting Rory McDonald but due to an injury he will be replaced by Claude Patrick. Ebersole is a veteran with a record of 48 wins with 14 losses. He comes with a 9 winning streak. He is a wrestler with moderate standup. His opponent Claude Patrick is a submission specialist who likes to use striking to setup clinches or takedowns were he uses his submission skills to win fights.

Bottom Line: This is a classic matchup between a wrestler versus a BJJ fighter. Ebersole's wrestling can help him in this fight but I expect Patrick to lure Ebersole to a position where he can submit him. Patrick has been looking good in the octagon and I expect him to perform well again. I expect a submission win by Claude Patrick in the first round.

Mark Hominick vs. Chan Sung Jung

Mark Hominick comes from challenging Jose Aldo for the UFC Featherweight title. He lost that fight by unanimous decision. Although he end the fight with a big hematoma he looked very good against the champion. He landed a few shots that made Aldo go for a takedown.  Hominick has a great standup and he is very durable. Chan Sung "The Korean Zombie" Jung is a great grappler and is known for his 2 battles against Leonard Garcia.

Bottom Line: This fight will be very close and it will depend if The Korean Zombie can close the distance and try a takedown to work on the ground where his best chance of winning is. Hominick is very hard to takedown especially if the fighter don't have the striking of Aldo. I expect to Hominick win this fight by decision.

 

 

This Saturday will have the finale of The Ultimate Fighter season 14 and in this season we will have the clash of the coaches between Michael Bisping and Jason Miller. There is also the finale for the Bantamweight division between John Dodson and T.J. Dillashaw and the finale for the featherweight division between Diego Brandao and Dennis Bermudez.

 

 Michael Bisping vs. Jason "Mayhem" Miller

This fight will be the fight between the coaches of this season. Jason "Mayhem" Miller is a well known fighter due to hosting the MTV2 show "Bully Beatdown". He came from submitting Kazushi Sakuraba in Dream 16 and this is his first fight in the UFC since his loss to GSP on UFC 52. He has a good ground game and his fight between Jake Shields and Ronaldo Souza proves that point. The ground fight will be his best option in this fight. Michael Bisping comes with 3 winning streak. Bisping is one of the most defensive fighters in the UFC. He has great takedown defense and he use a very precise boxing to keep the fight standing and punish the opponent. The problem with Bisping is that he seems to have lack of power in his punches.

Bottom Line: I like the energy that Jason Miller puts in his fights but his best chance in this fight is take Bisping down.  Bisping is a better boxer than Miller however the lack of power in his punches can make Miller go forward without hesitating to try a takedown. I'm a fan of "Mayhem" but I see Bisping winning this by decision using his footwork to win points and neglect the takedown.

John Dodson vs. T.J. Dillashaw

This will be the finale for the Bantamweight division in this TUFF 14. This fight sure is a candidate for fight of the night. John Dodson is flyweight fighter that is trying his chances in the Bantamweight division since there is not flyweight division in the UFC for now. With his 5'3" height he uses quickness to hit and go. During the season he showed an excellent takedown defense.  He has a great boxing and throws very fast kicks. T.J. Dillashaw is a good wrestler that mixes his takedowns with his boxing that seems to be improving each fight. He is undefeated in his 4 bouts.

Bottom Line:  Dillashaw will be looking to takedown Dodson but that will be a difficult task since Dodson has a great takedown defense and is very elusive. This will be a close fight but I expect to Dodson dominate the first 2 rounds and win a close decision.

Diego Brandado vs. Dennis Bermudez

This will be the finale for the Featherweight division. Diego Brandado has looked amazing in this season with his power punches and kicks. He looked very strong against in his semifinal fight against a wrestler. He showed very good takedown defense and like many Brazilians he showed good Muai Thay. His opponent Dennis Bermudes has showed a good wrestling and good ground control. He has a great condition and his best option is taking down Brandado.

Bottom Line: In his last fight Bermudez had trouble in the standup against Akira and if he hasn't improved in the standup he will have problems against Brandado. The best option for Bermudez is use his wrestling but Brandado a great takedown defense and I expect Brandado stuffing every takedown and win the fight by ko.

Tony Ferguson vs. Yves Edwards

Tony Ferguson is the winner of the season 13 of The Ultimate Fighter. After he last fight on the season and his win against Aaron riley he seems to be a great prospect with a great future and this match will serve him of test to see if he can succeed against better competition. Ferguson has a good standup and wrestling. He likes to counter punching and he can be successful on the standup or in the ground since he has a good wrestling base. His opponent Yves Edward is a veteran of the sport and he is fighting since 2026. Edwards is a good overall fighter that has the tools to beat a good fighter. He has good standup and great submissions skills. He has a great chin although he lost by ko in the first round against Sam Stout.

Bottom Line: Edwards is the perfect test for Ferguson all depends if Ferguson can deal with the experience of Edwards. I expect to Ferguson use his counter punches and ko Yves Edward by third round.

Johnny Bedford vs. Louis Gaunidot

This will be a great fight between 2 bantamweight fighters. Johnny Bedford has fight most of his career in the featherweight division but he enter to eh show as bantamweight to try luck in this division. For this weight he is a very large fighter and he was one of the favorites to win the show until he lost in the semifinals against Dodson where he was ko. He uses the clinch to punish his opponents and has a great wrestling. Louis Gaunidot is another promising fighter that his best division is the flyweight division but since in the UFC there is not a Flyweight division he is taking his chances in this weight. Gaunidot has a great standup but his problem is that he is too small for this division. He is similar to Dodson in height, 5'3" but Dodson seems to be stronger and Gaunidot had problem in his loss in the show due to be overpowered.

Bottom Line: Louis Gaunidot is a great fighter but I think that he will be overpowered by Johnny Bedford. His best option is to try to not get in the clinch but eventually will be inevitable and he will be dominated.

 

It seems that BetOnline Poker department made a statement  and there was a misunderstood and they will pay player that were affected. With  these actions they certain recover some trust. I will give some time to the  poker section before adding back to the list. I will upgrade again the  sportbooks since until now there hasn’t been any problem with them.

In the past weeks there have been a lot of complains about the poker section in BetOnline. Since we want to give the best quality of betting sites to players we will downgraded BetOnline in our list and removed them from our poker list.  Bet on the sportbooks is still safe and didn’t seems to be any complaint with them, the problem is with their poker but because I haven't heard any declarations from them I will downgraded until the situation is clarify. Keep in mind that we will keep updating our list in order to give the best and safe betting sites. If you’re going to bet in BetOnline, do it only for their sportbooks, until now the sportbooks is safe. But don’t get near the poker section.

I'm very busy this week so I will be quick with the analysis of UFC 139.

Shogun vs. Hendo

This fight will be a very close one and all depends in the conditions that Shogun can present in the fight. I will go with Shogun due to his quickness and ability. Hendo will be a tough opponent but if Shogun is healthy this will be his fight.

Wanderlei Silva vs. Cung Lee

Altought Silva is not the same Silva that we saw in Pride he still have some gas left in the tank to win this fight. Cug Lee is a great striker but I don't feel that his heart is in the fight and Wanderlei takes training very seriously. I expect Silva to win by ko.

Urijah Faber vs. Brian Bowles

This will be a great fight and probable the winner of this fight will get a rematch against Dominick Cruz. This is not an easy fight for Faber because Brian Bowles is a very good with his standup however I believe Faber has more tools to win this fight.

Martin Kampmann vs. Rick Story

Rick Story comes from a surprising loss after been consider the next top contender, he will look to be back on track but his has a tough opponent in Kampmann. This fight will be a close one but I think that story will impose his wrestling in the fight like he did against Thiago Alves and win a close decision.

Stephan Bonnar vs. Kyle Kingsbury

After looking good in a couple of fights, Kyle kingsbury will make a little step up in competition against the durable Stephan Bonnar. This fight will be very interest and we will see if Bonnar can keep winning and if kingsbury can be a future top contender. Bonnar has a great chin and is a very difficult fighter but he tends to bleed too much and I think that he will be affected by that. I really want Bonnar to win but I have to objective and I think that Kingsbury strength will be too much for Bonnar.

 

Sorry again for no comment more in the fights, i promise next time I will do a better job.

This Saturday 12 will have the first UFC fight in Fox. That fight will be a heavyweight between UFC Heavyweight champion Cain Velazquez and Junior Dos Santos. This will be a great fight and a great debut in the network. Cain Velazquez will have a tough fight against Junior Dos Santos who has good takedown defense. Both fighters have good condition and maybe this fight will last the 5 rounds. I think that Velazquez will win this with a combination of wrestling and strikes.
For the second fight will have a lightweight showdown between Clay Guida and Ben Henderson. This fight will be seen in Facebook since the only fight that will be air on Fox will be the main event. The winner of this fight probably will be #1 contender for the title. This fight will be a high pace one both fighter are similar in style although I believe Henderson is stronger than Guida. Henderson last fight was an impressive win over Jim Miller and the way he looked in that fight makes me pick him to win this fight. Guida probably will try to use his rare standup style but eventually this fight will go to the ground where I believe Henderson has the edge. I believe this fight will last the 3 rounds and will be a competitive one but with a win for Henderson.
The next fight will be between Dustin Poirier and Pablo Garza. Poirier has looked good since arriving in the UFC. Pablo Garza is a tall featherweight and he takes advantage of that. He has good submission skills and if Poirier makes a mistake he can easily be submitted. Dustin Poirier has well standup and also has wrestling skill. If he mixes well this too he will win this fight. I expect a standup fight where Poirier will be attacking Garza long legs and win a unanimous decision.
Next will have a fight for the bantamweight division between Norifumi Yamamoto and Darren Uyenoyama. Yamamoto has great standup but it was difficult for him to deal with Demetrious Johnson due to his quickness and fast takedowns. Darren will try to take Yamamoto down but after that fight against Johnson, Darren will look slow for him. I expect this fight to end quickly with a ko by Yamamoto.

In UFC 138 will be able to see the first 5 round matches for a non title fight. Chris Leben will fight Mark Munoz. This fight is a very interesting one and it will be a good fight. Chris Leben is a fighter that always leaves everything on the octagon and Mark Munoz has become a more complete fighter. In my opinion Mark Munoz is the better fighter but we can't count out Leben.
In the co main event will have the Brad Pickett vs. Renan Barao fight. This also will be a good fight and one of these fighters will be a great force in the bantamweight division. This is also interest match-up. Renan Barao has only one lose and that was back on 2026. He has great standup and great BJJ. In other hand we have Pickett with great wrestling and also great standup. On paper Renan Barao seems to be a better fighter but style makes fights and Picket's wrestling can cause a lot of trouble to Barao. Renan seems to have a better standup but many times strikers have problems with wrestlers because they have to concentrate on the take-downs. Renan can be dangerous with the BJJ but Picket has a good ground defense. In my opinion this will be a very competitive fight and Picket will win a very close decision.
In the next fight we have Thiago Alves against Papy Abedi. Although some losses Alves is still a top contender in the welterweight division. Papy Abedi is debuting in the UFC and he will have a difficult task against Alves. Abedi have some grappling ability but I think it will not be enough to counter Alves striking abilities.
The nest match in the main card will be Terry Etim vs. Eddie Faaloloto. Etim will have the home advantage and has far better record than his opponent. Faaloloto has 4-2 record and by now he hasn't show too may skills. Etim seems to be a big favorite but since Faaloloto only has 4 fights he have more room for improvement. I think Etim will win this fight but this is a good fight to risk with the underdog.
The last fight of the main card will be Cyrille Diabate vs. Anthony Perosh. Diabate is very good striker and his last fight was a win over Steve Cantwell. Perosh returned to the UFC facing Mirko Crop Cop were he lost. In his last fight he dropped to the light heavyweight division and won by submission in the first round. Cyrille Diabate seems to have problems against wrestlers but I think that Perosh doesn't have the wrestling ability to take Diabate down and I expect Diabate to dominate with his striking and secure a 3rd round finish.

On Saturday 29 will have UFC 137 were BJ. Penn will fight with Nick Diaz. As a UFC writer and fan I can't wait to see this match. This probably will be the best fight of the night. Although the GSP was out of the card due a knee injury but this card it's still a very good one.
Besides the Penn vs. Diaz fight will have bouts like Kongo vs. Mitrione . That is a fight that we can expect a standup war. Since the participation on The Ultimate Fighter, Mitrione have a perfect record in the UFC with 5-0. Kongo made one of the best comebacks that I have seen in a fight when being nearly out he Ko Pat Barry. In this fight Kongo seems to be the one with more experience but Mitrione gets better in every fight. I can see Mitrione improving once more and winning this fight by ko on the 2nd round.
Another fight that many hardcore fans are very interest is in Hiaki vs. Roop. In this fight Hatsu Hioki made his debut in the UFC and there are many expectations from him. Many considered him right now the #2 Featherweight and if he wins this fight we can expect seen him challenging Featherweight champion Jose Aldo. George Roop is not an easy opponent but I think that Hioki will be too much for him.
There will be another heavyweight bout in this card and is The Ultimate Fighter season 10 winner Roy "Big Country" Nelson vs. a legend in this sport Mirko "Crop Cop" Filipovic. There is a good chance that this will be the last fight of any of this 2 in the UFC. Both fighter come with 2 loses strike and a third lose can send one of them out of lines of the UFC. It is hard to see this version of Crop Cop; his doesn't even look with any desires for fight. In other hand Roy Nelson although he doesn't have the body structure of a natural Heavyweight he always deliver and his last 2 loses were to a top 5 fighter and a top 10 fighter. I think that this is the last time that will see Crop Cop in the UFC because I expect a ko from Roy Nelson.
One thing I don't understand from this card is that the Cerrone vs. Siver fight is not on the main card. In the opinion of many fans those 2 are top ten competitions and win from any of the 2 can push them near a title contention. I know that the UFC need a good fight for the prelims but with the injury that GSP received the card lost some of his power and this fight between this 2 lightweight can certainly be a good fight. Anyway I know that we will enjoy this card, so good luck to those that will make a bet.

It's been a tumultuous off-season for former Ohio State Buckeyes' quarterback Terrelle Pryor. First, it was reported that he received 'extra benefits' during his time in Columbus; including as many as eight vehicles. Then he decided he wasn't going to return to school with these allegations and a suspension hanging over his head.

It wasn't clear until Thursday morning whether he would be able to participate in Monday's NFL Supplemental Draft.
The NFL ruled in his favor, with a catch; he his suspended for the first five games.

The suspension shouldn't damper his draft position as Pryor is thought of more as a prospect that could help a team down the road. It's doubtful he'll be a quarterback at the next level.

Instead, due to his size and athleticism, his future will more than likely be at wide receiver or maybe tight end.

Regardless, Thursday morning betonline released odds on where the former top high school recruit in the country will get selected.

Which Round will Pryor get selected?
1st Round +1000
2nd Round +750
3rd Round +225
4th Round +150
5th Round +250
6th Round +550
7TH Round +850
8th Round +1000

Which Conference will select Terrelle Pryor?
AFC -125
NFC -105
