UFC Early Betting Line

Bodog PromotionUFC 88 Betting should be very interesting. Three fights have the classic matchup of up-and-comers against experienced veterans. In all cases the veterans are big named superstars of the UFC.

Chuck Liddell (-265) is the biggest name of all, and he's received the most support by the early UFC betting public. Although he's already moved higher from the opening line, I expect him to continue towards a 3-1 favorite. Rashad (+225) is in the MMA fans' doghouse and Liddell is over-rated by most observers. If you're a Liddell fan now is the time to bet.

Matt Hamill (+180) seems like the most likely underdog winner of the three. This line settled and probably won't vary much either way. Rich Franklin (-220) was bet early but Hamill bettors fired back quickly.

To the casual fan Dan Henderson (-200) seems like an easy winner over Rousimar Palhares (+165), but the odds indicate otherwise. Is it too good to be true or an obvious trap. I think most of the smart-money is already in on Palhares and Hendo begins to creep up slightly as casual bettors (small bettors) start playing UFC 88. If you're a Hendo fan, -200 will be the best price you will see from here on.

Best UFC Bets:

  • Matt Hamill (+180)- Franklin steps up in weight against a younger, stronger fighter. If Hamill can avoid getting caught on the way in, its an easy win for the Hammer.
  • Nate Marquardt (-155) over Kampmann. Marq is physically superior to Kampmann, watch him dominate the action on the ground or against the fence. Kampmann is a solid striker, but no where near Silva.
