Now is as good of a time as any to give everyone an update on MMAMoneyLine’s 2010 “Pros’ Picks” contest. It’s pretty close (as expected), but Zak from WatchKalibRun is currently wearing the yellow jersey. Steve from MMAConvert and Mike over at MMAMafia are hot on his heels.

Once again, congrats to Zak from WatchKalibRun for the early dominance. In addition, props to the guys over at MMABettingBlog for a stellar job at UFC 110. Stay tuned for updates!

UFC 110 Predictions

UFC 110 – Nogueira VS. Velasquez takes place this Saturday, February 21st in sunny Sydney, Australia.  In the UFC’s maiden voyage to the lonely continent, former UFC and PRIDE Heavyweight champion Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira will take on young gun Cain Velasquez.  The co-main event will showcase Wanderlei Silva’s first foray into the Middleweight division under the Zuffa banner as he takes on former TUF winner and coach Michael Bisping.

UFC 110 is interesting from a sports betting perspective because it’s marked by a feeling of “win or you’re out”.  Several fighters on this card are in serious slumps, and guys like Stephan Bonnar, Keith Jardine, Wanderlei Silva and Mirko Filipovic sorely need a victory.  This sort of desperation should absolutely factor into your betting strategy, as there is rarely something more dangerous than a man with his back against a wall.

As per the format of MMAMoneyLine’s predictions, I will only cover the fights that have betting value.  Depending on which way you look at it, UFC 110 could either be chock full of solid betting opportunities or riddled with potential wagering disasters.  I happen to be the former.  Here are MMAMoneyLine’s betting recommendations for UFC 110.

UFC 109 Predictions

UFC 109 – Relentless is going down this Saturday, February 6th in Las Vegas.  The main event pits one UFC Hall of Famer against another as former UFC Heavyweight and Light Heavyweight champion Randy Couture takes on former UFC Heavyweight and PRIDE Grand Prix champion Mark Coleman.  In addition, the next contender for the UFC Middleweight belt will be decided as Nate Marquardt squares off against Chael Sonnen.

From a betting perspective, this is the UFC first card in a while to have 5 fights hovering around the -400/+300 mark.  With that being said, there are a few strong betting opportunities to look for this weekend.  As per the future format of MMAMoneyLine’s predictions, I will only cover the fights that have betting value.  Here are MMAMoneyLine’s betting recommendations for UFC 109.
