UFC 102 Betting Odds Randy Couture vs Antonio Rodrigo NogueiraBet UFC 102 Heavyweight Championship Bout: Randy "The Natural" Couture vs Antonio Rodrigo "Minotauro" Nogueira A testament to the budding depth of the UFC and MMA in general, UFC 102 betting odds is shaping up to be another stacked card from the word's preeminent fight organization and as always the action is fierce in the BetUS Sportsbook. While many big-time UFC fights in recent months have been one-sided, UFC 102 bets features a host of close lines as all five of the main card fights have fairly close odds this time around. The main event is a tough one to call as two legends will finally square off in a heavyweight bout with Randy "The Natural" Couture going up against Antonio Rodrigo "Minotauro" Nogueira. Couture is a -180 to +150 favorite based on his better consistency as of late in comparison with Nogueira, who quite frankly looked like a zombie in his interim title bout with Frank Mir.

Virtually any heavyweight in the UFC would be favored over the Minotauro we saw in the Mir fight but his camp believes it was a fluke and a result of being in the hospital with a bad staph infection in the days leading up to it. Join BetUS Sportsbook Today! Nogueira is actually 13 years younger than Couture at age 33 but many feel that Nogueira is closer to being washed up than Couture based on his last fight. It's a dangerous assumption but it's also dangerous to bet against Couture in just about any UFC fight. In other UFC 102 action from Portland, Oregon, Keith Jardine is a -145 to +115 favorite over Thiago Silva in a light heavyweight fight that should feature plenty of fireworks. Jardine can hang with the best but he can also lose to lesser opposition like when he was blitzed by Houston Alexander. Silva was riding high until he was outclassed by Lyoto Machida in his last fight. The Nate Marquardt-Demian Maia middleweight matchup isn't getting the hype of the other two fights but not it's hard to understand why that is considering both guys are at their top of their respective games and a title shot is probably on the line. The powerful, versatile Marquardt is a -160 to +130 favorite over Maia, whose jiu-jitsu prowess resembles a young Nogueira's and makes him a dangerous underdog. Chris Leben brings his horror flick-inspired fighting style (keep attacking and keep moving forward without even blinking, no matter what) back to the Octagon against one of the UFC's top wrestlers in Jake Rosholt. Leben's power has him penciled in as a -155 to +125 favorite in this one. Rounding out the main card is the Brandon Vera vs. Krzysztof Soszynski matchup at light heavyweight with Vera a -170 to +140 favorite in a matchup of multi-talented, intriguing prospects. The undercard also looks strong with Gabriel Gonzaga a solid favorite over Brock Lesnar training partner Chris Tuscherer and Mark Munoz coming back from a brutal head kick KO at the hands of Matt Hamill to take on Nick Catone. All of these fights and more are ready and awaiting you in the Sportsbook so don't forget to take a look and make your picks for what should be one of the most exciting and competitive UFC events of the year. --- by BetUS at 1800-sports.com on August 27, 2009
