On August 7, 2010 the MMA betting world will be focused on Northern California as the UFC betting odds competition gets going.
The Oracle Arena in Oakland, CA ought to be packed as much of the sport wagering community turns in to see the biggest fighter in the UFC betting action at the sportsbook online right now. Anderson Silva, pound for pound the biggest fighter on earth and the UFC gambling middleweight champ, will be back in the Octagon for the first time since his bizarre match in April.
After a comparatively light UFC betting menu during the UFC 116 betting competition the UFC 117 looks like a veritable cornucopia of fighting as the Main Card is loaded with top competitors and intriguing bouts. The UFC 117 probabilities game that anyone wants to see is the Silva-Sonnen match. But there are a lot of other quality bouts in the UFC 117 betting competition, specifically on the Preliminary Card.
The top match in the prelim bouts is the light heavyweight game between Brazilian Thiago Silva and American Tim Boetsch. It wasn't that long ago that Silva was headlining UFC betting main events but after two losses in his last three UFC betting events he's got to work his way back into championship contention. He's still on the list of top light heavyweights in UFC betting with a career record of 14-2 and he should get a solid chance to showcase his abilities in this UFC 117 probabilities game. The game will be Silva's first since his decision loss to Rashad Evans back at UFC 108. Boetsch himself maintains a record of 11-3.
Another intriguing UFC 117 betting game features heavyweights Stefan Struve and Christian Morecraft. Struve is a Dutch fighter with a career record of 19-4 but he's generally come up short against quality competition and lost in last UFC betting competition to Roy Nelson. Morecraft should make for intriguing contest and this game has the opportunity to be 1 of the most interesting in the UFC 117 betting competition. Ever since signing with the UFC earlier this year, this will be Morecraft's debut match. We'll see how well he hangs onto his record (He is now 6-0 prior to signing with the UFC) now that he's part of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
In the other light heavyweight game on the prelim card Rodney Wallace will take on Stanislav Nedkov. Wallace has a career record of 9-2 but after losing his first two UFC gambling matches he has the look of fighter that may not have what it takes to make it in the top MMA gambling league on earth. Throughout his four-year career, Nedkov has fought for other well known organizations such as Pancrese and Shooto Bulgaria. He enters the UFC with an undefeated 11-0 MMA record, with stoppages coming in 9 of his 11 wins. There are plenty of unknowns in this match, and this will be the first UFC betting game for Nedkov. Don't miss out on this fight, though, since Nedkov could just be the next fantastic light heavyweight in the making.
