Jose Aldo vs. Chad Mendes

Jose Aldo vs. Chad Mendes

Jose Aldo (20-1) and Chad Mendes (11-0) are fighting for the UFC Featherweight Championship at UFC 142. This will be the 3rd time that Aldo has had to defend his title, as he already beat Mark Hominick and Kenny Florian by decision. The fact that Aldo hasn’t had any finishes in his last couple fights is nothing to be concerned about when betting on this … read more

Anthony Johnson vs. Vitor Belfort

Anthony Johnson vs. Vitor Belfort

Anthony Johnson (10-3) has moved up to the middleweight division to fight Vitor Belfort (20-9) at UFC 142. Belfort will definitely be the home crowd favourite and right now he is a small favourite at most sportsbooks. I think there is a lot of value on Belfort and I’m betting on him now in case the odds go up closer to fight time. Johnson has … read more

Mike Massenzio vs. Rousimar Palhares

Mike Massenzio vs. Rousimar Palhares

Brazilians will be excited to watch Rousimar Palhares (13-3) live in Rio de Janeiro at UFC 142. Palhares is a huge favourite coming into his fight at UFC 142 against Mike Massenzio (13-5). The odds don’t have any value for Palhares, but he should be able to win this fight against Massenzio. You can’t completely write off Massenzio in this fight, but I’ll be adding … read more

Carlo Prater vs. Erick Silva

Carlo Prater vs. Erick Silva

Erick Silva (13-1) is making his 2nd UFC appearance this weekend at UFC 142. The last time the UFC was in Brazil was for UFC 134 and Silva beat Luis Ramos by TKO in the 1st round on the main card. Silva was supposed to fight Siyar Bahadurzada at UFC 142 this weekend, but Bahadurzada was injured and Prater took the fight on short notice. … read more

Terry Etim vs. Edson Barboza

Terry Etim vs. Edson Barboza

Terry Etim (15-3) and Edson Barboza (9-0) should be a great fight and has the potential to be FOTN in my opinion. Both fighters are only 25 years old and a win in this fight will help either fighter move up the lightweight contenders list. Barboza joined the UFC in 2010 and has a 3-0 record with wins over Lullo, Njokuani and Pearson. His split … read more
