With back to back events being held in California the Athletic commission has been working overtime this week. Today the CSAC released its medical suspensions as well as the fighter’s salaries for the UFC on FOX event.
The saying anything can happen is often used in sports for obvious reasons, but when a fight ends in such a fashion as the main event did tonight it still shocks us. Whether or not you thought Junior Dos Santos would walk out of the Octagon with the UFC heavyweight belt, you didn’t see it coming like it did tonight on network television.
All fighters made weight at today’s weigh-ins before tomorrow’s historic UFC on FOX network television debut. In front of what looked like a packed house all 20 fighters stepped onto the scale, many looking pissed off from cutting weight.
Saturday’s UFC on FOX will see a completely different format then the typical. The promotions network debut will only air the heavyweight championship main event during the slotted hour on Fox. The remaining nine fights will still be televised via stream on the UFC Facebook fan page and also on Foxsports.com.
Saturdays UFC on FOX is quite possibly the most important event the Ultimate Fighting Championship has ever held as they make their debut on network TV. The one hour event will air just the heavyweight championship between Cain Velasquez and Junior Dos Santos.
It’s nice to have a few free events in a row to build up the bankroll and while the format is a bit odd, we get another outstanding event for UFC on Fox 1. Title fights are always worth a wager, and this bout between Velasquez and JDS will anchor your entire fight card, so let’s dig into my comparison betting odds and valid props for this event.
Battle of the Bayou sounds more like something out of the civil war history book then a UFC event but nevertheless, tomorrows UFC Fight Night 25 dawns the name. The UFC returns to the big easy and the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana for the first time in over nine years. The free card will air live on Spike TV, with the undercard streaming on Facebook.
Does anyone else remember when the UFC wasn’t allowed to hold events anywhere EXCEPT the Deep South? Probably not. Regardless, the UFC returns to Louisiana for a Fight Night full of competitive bouts. This could be a tough one to turn a buck on, but never fear, as my comparison betting odds and valid props are here to help you root out some juicy wagers.
