UFC 92 Recap UFC 93 & 94 Preview

Was that something else or what? Sports betting fans had to be going crazy before, during and after UFC 92 when Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Rashad Evans gave online fight betting fans something to cheer about when winning bouts as overlays!
Jackson had lost to Wanderlei Silva twice before taking it out on his old nemesis. 2008 was not kind to Jackson up until Dec. 27th. He had to deal with out of the Octagon issues as well as managerial changes, losses, etc.
Well, Rampage took it all in stride and pummeled Silva in the first round! It was beauty in motion and Rampage went off the long shot to boot!
But he wasn’t the only fighter that proved to fight fans why MMA is now the top dog on betting, and fighting fans’, campuses! Frank Mir came back from a motorcycle accident to knock-out the “un-knock-outable” A.R. Noguiera. It was the first time “Minotauro” had lost in a championship bout! What’s the best thing about the victory? For online sportsbook fans, Mir was going off at over + 400 in the BetUS online sportsbook!
Try getting those online odds the next time the “Golden Boy” or “Pac-Man” enter the boxing ring!
Of course, the highlight of the night was when Rashad Evans, the smaller man in the light heavyweight title bout, beat Forest Griffin in the third round after grabbing Griffin’s leg, taking Forest to the ground, and destroying him with the good old ground and pound technique! Evans, who gained fame by knocking out Chuck Lidell with a right hook in September, was awesome in this fight. There was no doubt that Griffin would put up a fight after the BetUS UFC odds makers pin-pointed him as the – 130 favorite, but Evans would have none of it.
Congratulations to Rashad who showed that heart combined with toughness can win in UFC!
Now, it’s on to UFC 93 on January 17th where the toughest men in the world will hopefully build upon the excitement of UFC 92 and line the pockets of online betting fans!
It’s another ten fight card, something else you won’t see in traditional boxing, and BetUS is going to have online odds on every single one of the matches!
The fights take place in Dublin, Ireland, one of the toughest cities in the world, and the energy should be downright scary with Dubliners arriving in droves to see Rich Franklin take on Dan Henderson in the light heavy-weight main event!
“Hendo” Henderson has only 7 losses while Rich “Ace” Franklin has only 3! This is going to be an amazing three rounds as Franklin brings striking ability to the fight while Henderson can knock a guy out with both hands and wrestle should the fight go to the ground!
Which style and man will prevail? Fight fans only have to wait until January 17th to find out!
On the undercard of UFC 93 is Mark “The Hammer” Coleman taking on Mauricio “Shogun” Rua in another light heavy battle. Rua was forced into a submission by Forest Griffin the last time he entered the Octagon but don’t expect Coleman to do the same in this fight!
The 44 year old Coleman is an old pro who hasn’t fought since UFC 17 in 1999! That will be ten years since entering the Octagon! Can Coleman pull a miracle Frank Mir type return to the ring? Fight fans get ready because UFC 93 will be awesome!
Sneak Peak at UFC 94!
UFC fighters don’t sleep! None of this waiting around for the biggest pay-per-view contract or deciding to work with Golden Boy Promotions or Bob Arum! Hell, no! Not in the UFC!
If you are a UFC fighter, you fight, man, that’s it!
Which is why on January 31st, just two weeks after UFC 93, is UFC 94! How good is the main event in this fight?
As good as it gets when B.J. “The Prodigy” Penn takes on Georges St. Pierre in a 170 pound slugfest! Penn is a submission master who will be looking to put St. Pierre in an uncompromising position!
But it won’t be easy because Pierre doesn’t have a 17 and 2 record for nothing! Pierre’s style is to fight. He doesn’t subscribe to any one style because all he does is win!
UFC 93 and UFC 94 are just around the corner! BetUS online sportsbook fight fans had better start planning for both events.
Let’s get it on!
