Following what happened at the UFC 113 betting fight and the top-notch competition planned for the UFC 114 betting action it would impossible to decide that the light heavy weight division isn't the most appealing weight class in the MMA betting action right now.
In the last UFC betting Main Event, Mauricio Rua beat then-champion Lyota Machida in the UFC 113 betting finale to lay claim to the light heavyweight title. And this weekend in what will be an uncommon occasion in MMA betting history 2 light heavyweights will once more headline the UFC 114 betting action, and in what may very well be unprecedented in UFC betting history, the champion of the UFC 114 betting headliner fight is already assured a shot at the current champion, Rua.
If that is not cause for pre-fight buildup, I have no idea what is.
And the appeal of it all is that either of the UFC 114 betting fighters, Rashad Evans or Rampage Jackson, are each extremely talented and capable fighters and each one could wind up having the light heavyweight title once the UFC 114 betting is all finished.
Each of these opponents are exceptionally gifted and share some parallels in their fighting methods. Both are able to winning this colossal UFC 114 match and getting a chance at the current light heavyweight champ - a thing that Dana White, UFC president, has already granted the winner of the UFC 114 Main Event.
To have so many top light heavyweights compete in consecutive UFC betting main events is almost unheard of. And then to promise a go at the title to the champion of the UFC 114 betting before the MMA betting competition has taken place is also a rare move.
However it's a smart move and the right move. And it adds even more UFC betting hype to an fight that didn't seem like it could get any more hyped up. With little exaggeration the UFC 114 betting fight may be the greatest MMA betting matchup of the year to date. Millions should tune in for his fight to see whether Jackson still has what it take after more than a year away from the Octagon or if the multi-talented Evans will be too much for the former champ.
Rashad Evans is a extremely skilled overall fighter and if you'd like to bet on a fighter in the UFC 114 odds he might just be your your best option. Evans has numerous apparent advantages over Jackson on paper and he just might possibly emerge as the UFC 114 victor. Of course Jackson could be very rusty going into the UFC 114 odds action as he hasn't brawled in more than a year. He's also not quite as well-rounded a fighter as Evans.
These questions and then some all will be laid to rest once the UFC 114 betting action gets underway and the by the conclusion of the night we'll know who Rua will face in his first defense of his newly earned UFC betting belt.
