UFC 170: Ronda Rousey vs Sarah McMann betting odds

Ronda Rousey will come in as a 3.5 to 1 favorite in her bout with Sara McMann. McMann has great wrestling, but Rousey showed in her fight with Miesha Tate that she can counter takedowns with judo throws. However, McMann's Olympic level wrestling is on a whole different plane.


Ronda Rousey -350
Sara McMann +350

Rory MacDonald vs Demian Maia prediction

Demian Maia is a sub master on the ground. But he'll have a lot of trouble getting Rory MacDonald there in their fight. So, it's a stand up fight mostly, and that's good news for Rory. He has the better striking and will win this fight via decision. He doesn't want to play around with Maia on the ground, so will pick him apart on the feet and avoid the floor. He'll take at least two of three rounds.

Cain Velasquez vs Jon Jones prediction

Jon Jones wants to move up to heavyweight one day and fight Cain Velasquez. How'd that go?

Well, it'd be close, could go either way, but going with Cain. He has exceptional cardio, and his relentless pace and aggressive style will pose problems for Jones. Many people respect Jones too much and don't go in for the kill. Cain will go for the kill. He won't get the TKO, but he'll get the nod on the judges' scorecards.

3 rounds to 2 for Cain.

If Chris Weidman beats Anderson Silva, GSP could be the greatest ever

Anderson Silva was widely considered the greatest of all time in MMA. But if loses to Chris Weidman again, possibly Georges St-Pierre could creep up behind him and overtake Silva as the GOAT. Others may point to Fedor Emelianenko, but GSP's 25-2 record over 11 years, and avenging his two losses, makes him statistically the greatest ever. Silva was more creative and devastating, and an incredible artist in addition to being an athlete. But based on pure numbers, Georges St-Pierre is the greatest ever.

UFC 171 odds: Johny Hendricks vs Robbie Lawler predictino

Johny Hendricks is the favorite for this fight at UFC 171, and it makes sense. Both have KO power but the different is wrestling skill. Hendricks is on another level when it comes to takedowns. And when it comes to scoring, that matters.

Johny Hendricks -260
Robbie Lawler +200
