This Saturday, Dana White and crew will make their way to the Air Canada Center in Toronto, Ontario for UFC 140: Jones vs. Machida. When this event was first announced, Lyoto Machida and Phil Davis were rumored to be the main event but it was eventually revealed that Davis was still recovering from a knee injury and would not be fighting. Later, it was thought that Jon Jones would defend his title against Rashad Evans, but that, too, was shut down due to a thumb injury in the Evans camp. Let’s take a look at the current main card and break it down.

TUF 14 wasn’t bad for a wager or two, but if you’re looking for some serious Christmas money, this is the card.

So, let’s dig into my comparison betting odds and valid props for this event and get the bankroll growing. Now, onto the fights!
