In the wake of the disaster that was UFC 151, the UFC will look to rebound with a stellar card, featuring two title fights and several potential number one contender bouts at UFC 152. Jon Jones will be the star of the show, though his star is certainly tarnished as of late, as he takes on the always game Vitor Belfort. Also, we’ll close out the UFC Flyweight tournament, as Joseph Benavidez takes on Demetrious Johnson to crown the first ever UFC Flyweight Champion.

That strange feeling this weekend wasn’t the fact that you had one more day to party, it was the MMA void left by the absence of UFC 151. While the MMA world has moved on and the UFC has moved its attention to the new season of The Ultimate Fighter and UFC 152 they cannot hide from the fact something was missing this weekend.

UFC 150: Henderson vs. Edgar Betting Corner

UFC 150: Henderson vs. Edgar Betting Corner

Riding the wave created by the phenomenal UFC on Fox 4 card, UFC 150 brings the fighters back to altitude for a PPV card that should be well worth the money. In our main event, Benson Henderson will look to show the first fight was no fluke as he takes on the gutsy Frankie Edgar in defense of his title. In other lightweight action, fan favorite Donald Cerrone will take on Melvin Guillard in a bout that can’t possibly be anything short of amazing.

UFC 149: Faber vs. Barao Betting Corner

UFC 149: Faber vs. Barao Betting Corner

It seems like we get a card like UFC 149 every year, where the injuries pile up and the card shuffles around to the point of ridiculousness. I must say though, the UFC managed to put together a great batch of match-ups from the players left healthy enough to fight, and a truly intriguing main event. Just because the roster is injured doesn’t mean your bankroll has to suffer a setback though, so let’s make some cash together.

UFC 148: Silva vs. Sonnen 2 Betting Corner

After the confusing main event at UFC on FX 4 and the nameless UFC 147 card, it’s nice to see a quality PPV worth laying your money down on with UFC 148. But there’s also money to be made in the betting world if you know who to back, who to fade, and how to hedge.
