The world will be observing the UFC 117 MMA fight bettinggame with eager interest in seeing how things come to pass.
Some of the diehard MMA wagering fans at the sportsbook will just be looking for top-shelf UFC wagering competition, or observing the up and coming fighters. Significant sports betting fans will be looking for excellent UFC 117 probabilities opportunities to bet on. But the rest of the world will be observing the UFC 117 betting event to see if Anderson Silva "the best fighter on the planet- has in fact lost his marbles and perhaps catch a peek of him doing something ridiculous in the Octagon throughout the UFC 117 probabilities event.
But other than just checking to see if Silva is ridiculous, there are superior reasons to tune into the UFC 117 wagering event.
One of the leading fights in the UFC 117 probabilities is a welterweight fight between Jon Fitch and Thiago Alves on the main card. This might stand alone as the Main Event on some UFC wagering cards.
Fitch is one of the leading welterweights in the world, perhaps the 2nd best behind the legendary Georges St Pierre. He's enjoyed tremendous results in the MMA wagering competition with a career track record of 22-3 and his only loss in UFC wagering has been to St Pierre. He'll bring a 12-1 track record in UFC competitions to the UFC 117 betting event. 1 of those wins is over Thiago Alves that arrived all the way back in 2006 and ended in a TKO of Alves.
It's probable that Alves will end up on the mat one time again with yet another loss to Fitch, even though he'll certainly be looking to get a little pay back for that loss in the UFC 117 wagering competition. Alves commenced a promising career in the UFC wagering but has never been able to live up to his potential. He's 16-6 as an MMA professional and since losing to Fitch, he's done very well, going 7-1 in the UFC betting.
Alves is returning to the UFC after a brief hiatus due to consecutive medical issues. He was scheduled to face Jon Fitch at UFC 107 in a rematch of their fight at UFC Ultimate Fight Night 5. Nonetheless he was pressured to withdraw from the match after he suffered a knee injury. He was then scheduled to face Fitch at UFC 111 in March 2010. Nonetheless Alves was taken off the card due to the discovery of an arteriovenous malformation in the brain subsequent to a pre-fight CAT scan on March 25th. Alves had the restorative surgical procedure on March 31, 2010, and will now be returning to the Octagon with any luck healthy and set for his rematch with Fitch.
Also like Fitch, his single loss is to St Pierre, which was in fact his last match at UFC 100. Alves showed potential on his feet and put in a resilient performance on the ground, continually getting back up throughout that match. He'll certainly be looking to avoid losing this 2nd straight fight in this UFC 117 betting competition but Fitch should come out on top one time again.
