UFC betting has been stingy with the big names this time around

My Pick: Jackson killed Wanderlei Silva in his last bout and is going into this fight knowing that a win earns him the #1 contender spot. Pick Jackson

[I Heart Gambling Online]

Shane Carwin

he's 10-0 in MMA I think and will take down Gonzaga!

[Home On The Range]

Mark Munoz at +140 is great odds to take down Matt Hamill, and I don't care if its his first fight inside the octagon, he's got mad skills.

for all you Hamill lovers out there I've got one thing to say to you - Remember September's fight against Franklin?

Another one like it is coming!

Main Event: Quinton “Rampage” Jackson vs. Keith “The Dean of Mean” Jardine

My Pick: Jackson -300, get it while its still at -300, it's probably going to go up, even if you have to wager a ton just to win your money. This fight is a lock though, no doubt aboutit!

Plus if you're man lets you bet on "if its a knockout" take it the bank, someone is going to knock the other guy out in this one.

One more Pick While I'm Hot here:

Take Jason Day to smack the patsy Kendall grove around. Why you ask? Grove faught Tanner last time out and was brutal!

[Sports Betting Phenom]

Take Matt Hamill at -200 over Mark Munoz.

Hamill is a solid mid-tier fighter and will destroy Munoz!
