Fight Breakdown: Alexander Sarnavskiy was the No. 1 lightweight prospect in the world, and Bellator had high hopes of him winning their latest 155-pound tournament. But after being outgrappled and losing a split decision to Rich Clementi – the first loss of his young career – Sarnavskiy needs to get back on track and prove why he’s so highly thought of. Despite the loss, the youngster is still a dangerous fighter, as he has vicious striking as well as submissions for days, backed up by his 17 stoppage victories. He’s a talented guy and has an opportunity to get back on ... [More]

UFC on FOX 6 Opening Odds: Light Heavyweights Glover Teixeira (-245) vs. Quinton Jackson (+185)
UFC on FOX 6: January 26, 2013 Chicago, Illinois
UFC Light Heavyweight Contender Glover Teixeira (-245)Profile: When people talk about the next big thing at light heavyweight in the UFC, the names Alexander Gustafsson and Glover Teixeira (19-2) come up every time. The 33-year-old monster trains out of the famed Pit, where such notable fighters as Tim Kennedy, Bobby Southworth, Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell have learned their craft over the years. With a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and fists that have delivered him 11 knockouts in his 18 wins, Teixeira is the real deal and can bring the fight anywhere. He is currently on a 17-fight winning streak and garnering increased attention as a true contender in the suddenly-murky UFC light heavyweight division following dominant wins over Kyle Kingsbury (arm-triangle choke submission) and Fabio Maldonado (TKO) in his first two fights within the organization.
UFC Light Heavyweight Contender Quinton Jackson (+185)Profile: Former light heavyweight champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson (32-10) is nearing the end of his career with what he has said will be his last fight in the UFC on deck, but there is still some fight in the brawler. Jackson has not seen the win column since May of 2011 when he earned a unanimous decision against Matt Hamill, and although 34-year-old looked as good as he has in years in h... [More]

Event: Cage Warriors 49
Date: Saturday, October 28
Location: Cadiff, Wales, U.K.
How to Watch: Preliminary card streams on Facebook.com at 2:30 p.m. (ET),
main card streams on MMAjunkie.com at 4 p.m.
The U.K.’s premier MMA organization stages its 49th event on Saturday
as Cage Warriors is back for what should be another entertaining show.
In the main event of the evening, Brazilian welterweight Bruno Carvalho
squares off against Ireland’s Cathal Pendred. Carvalho opened as a -240
favorite (bet $240 to win $100) while Pendred is a +180 underdog (bet
$100 to win $180) according to the MMA odds.
The 30-year old Carvalho enters the contest with a 14-5 record and
holds a notable submission win over TUF vet Kyacey Uscola. He has been
on a roll, winning nine of his last 10 fights, save a KO loss to Marius
Zaromskis (via summersault kick). He is a second-degree black belt in
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and has five submission wins to his name, and he’s
also a black belt in judo, so Pendred is going to have his hands full.
The 25-year-old Irishman enters with a 10-2-1 record, incl... [More]

MMA Betting Preview: MFC 35 Odds Breakdown MFC 35: Explosive Encounter takes place October 26 at Mayfield Trade Centre in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and airs live in the U.S. on AXS TV at 10 p.m. (ET) and on tape delay in Canada on TSN 2. The main card features five bouts that have the potential to produce exciting finishes, including a title-fight headliner, and as always MMAOddsBreaker.com has you covered with the opening MMA odds.
In the main event of the evening, the MFC will crown a middleweight champion as the vacant title is on the line in a matchup between Joseph “Leonidas” Henle (8-0) and Elvis “The King” Mutapcic (11-2). MMA oddsmaker Nick Kalikas has installed Henle as a -160 favorite (bet $160 to win $100) while Mutapcic comes in as the underdog at +130 (bet $100 to win $130). Henle was on Season 11 of The Ultimate Fighter and submitted Costas Philippou to get into the house but then lost a decision to Seth Baczynski in the first round. But that was an exhbition bout so he is still undefeated in his pro career, where he has four wins by submission and two via knockout, including a TKO of Luke Harris in his MFC debut to get this title shot. He trains out of Reign Training Center in California alongside Jake Ellenberger and Mark Munoz and seems to be improving every fight. At 29 years old, the gritty fighter nicknamed “Leonidas” is in the prime of his career. His opponent, Mutapcic, grew up in war-torn Bosnia before relocating to rough-and-tumble Des Moines, Iowa...

UFC Flyweight Title Fight
Date/Time TBA
Video Short
UFC Flyweight Champion Demetrious Johnson (-285)
Profile: Demetrious Johnson (16-2-1) became the first-ever UFC flyweight champion following a dominant unanimous decision win over Joseph Benavidez at UFC 152. The 25-year-old from Washington had also earned a unanimous decision win against Ian McCall in a semifinal bout at UFC on FX 3 after the two fought to a draw on March 3. “Mighty Mouse” thought he had walked away with a victory against McCall the first time around, but a scoring mistake changed the decision and forced a rematch for the right to face Benavidez for the title. Johnson had previously lost a bantamweight title fight against champ Dominick Cruz last October before dropping to the flyweight division, and he is 4-1-1 in the UFC with another notable win over Miguel Angel Torres at UFC 130.
UFC Flyweight #1 Challenger John Dodson (+215)
Profile: A former New Mexico State wrestling champion and part-time Chuck E. Cheese employee, John Dodson (14-5) fell in love with MMA after Greg Jackson recruited him in 2003 due to his impressive wrestling background. With Jackson guiding him, Dodson has already seen much success in MMA, winning The Ultimate Fighter 14 despite moving up a weight class to bantamweight. The 28-year-old is currently undefeated at 3-0 in the big leagues and earned a ti... [More]

UFC on FX 5 Opening Odds: Heavyweights Travis Browne (-215) vs. Antonio Silva (+175)
UFC on FX 5 Friday, October 5 at Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota
UFC Heavyweight Contender Travis Browne (-215)
Profile: The powerful Hawaiian Travis Browne (13-0-1) has run through his opponents like a freight train during his short three-year career. With 13 wins already under his belt, including 11 finishes (nine by knockout and two via submission), Browne has turned some heads in the one-time stagnant UFC heavyweight division. Making his UFC debut at The Ultimate Fighter 11 Finale, the 30-year-old unbeaten fighter knocked out James McSweeney with an impressive barrage of fists in the first round. Since then, he has followed his heavy hands to the top of the heavyweight division with impressive wins over Stefan Struvre (Knockout of the Night), Chad Griggs (Submission of the Night) and Rob Broughton (una...

UFC on FX 5 Opening Odds: Welterweights Jake Ellenberger (-370) vs. Jay Hieron (+290)
UFC on FX 5 Friday, October 5 at Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota
UFC Welterweight Contender Jake Ellenberger (-370)
Profile: Jake Ellenberger (27-6) made his way toward the top of the UFC welterweight title contenders thanks to an impressive six-fight winning streak that included four via TKO/KO over Jake Shields, Sean Pierson, John Howard and Mike Pyle. Unfortunately, the 27-year-old from Omaha saw his winning streak come to an end with a stunning loss to Martin Kampmann, who advanced to a title eliminator bout against Johny Hendricks. The loss was a bit of a surprise considering Ellenberger looked like he was about to finish Kampmann before the tables were turned on him. Ellenberger is 6-2 in the UFC, with the other previous loss coming against interim welterweight champion Carlos Condit in his d... [More]

UFC on FUEL TV 5 Opening Odds: Welterweights Che Mills (-165) vs. Duane Ludwig (+135)
UFC on FUEL TV 5: September 29, 2012 Capital FM Arena in Nottingham, England
UFC Welterweight Contender Che Mills (-165)Profile: One of the UK’s favorite exports over the last few years, 29-year-old Che Mills (14-5, 1 No-Contest) has given as good as he has received in his UFC career. After going 14-4-1 across Europe from 2003 to 2011, Mills debuted at UFC 138 in devastating fashion, with a flying knee and punches TKO over Chris Cope in under a minute. This won Mills the Knockout of the Night award and opened the world’s eyes to new blood in the UFC welterweight division. Then Mills met Rory MacDonald at UFC 145 and received a serious wake-up call from a top contender, as he was absolutely dominated. Regardless, Mills still has the talent to bounce back and shine under English lights in his next fight at UFC on FUEL TV 5.
UFC Welterweight Contender Duane Ludwig (+135)Profile: A long-time vet of MMA and kickboxing, Duane Ludwig (21-13) has seen it all and fought just about everyone worth fighting at lightweight and welterweight.

UFC on FUEL TV 5: September 29, 2012 Capital FM Arena in Nottingham, England
UFC Welterweight Contender Dan Hardy (-165)
Profile: One-time UFC welterweight title contender Dan Hardy (24-10-1) has fallen on hard times lately, going on a four-fight losing streak after earning a title shot at GSP’s belt at UFC 111 before rebounding with a knockout win over Duane Ludwig at UFC 146. Shockingly, Hardy was not cut from the UFC when so many are on a losing streak of that length and was able to bounce back Ludwig. The 30-year-old Brit has been an entertaining fighter throughout his MMA career and has the ability to KO virtually anyone in the welterweight division. However, the tougher the competition, the more he has struggled against top-level opponents. Hardy has seemingly taken his losses to heart and has worked hard to fill his gaps and work on the holes in his game, n... [More]

Strikeforce: Souza vs. Brunson August 18, 2012 at Valley View Casino Center in San Diego, California
Strikeforce Middleweight Contender Ronaldo Souza (-450)
Profile: Also known as “Jacare” or “Alligator” in Portuguese, Ronaldo Souza (15-3-1) is a legend in the annals of BJJ history. After a quick start to his career in Brazil, where he went 7-1, Jacare made the transition to the international stage when Dream came calling. In the Japanese promotion, he went 3-1-1 and was an upkick from Gegard Mousasi away from winning the Dream Middleweight Grand Prix. Following Dream in 2009, the 32-year-old made Strikeforce his new home, and proceeded to capture the vacant middleweight title in a close battle with Tim Kennedy. Jacare would go on to defend his title against Robbie Lawler before eventually losing it current champion Luke Rockhold.
Strikeforce Middleweight Contender Derek Brunson (+300)
Profile: Derek Brunson (9-1) is a former Division II All-American wrestler from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke who had a fantastic start to his career, going 9-0 over his first two years in the sport on the independent circuit and Strikeforce. He suffered his first loss at the hands of former UFC vet and TUF winner Kendall Grove at ShoFight 20 via a controversial split decision. The 2... [More]

Strikeforce: Saffiedine vs. Bowling August 18, 2012 at Valley View Casino Center in San Diego, California
Strikeforce Welterweight Contender Tarec Saffiedine (-305)
Profile: Tarec Saffiedine (12-3) enjoyed a steady stream of success on the independent circuit, which led him to training with the legendary Team Quest in California and a stint with DREAM. The 25-year-old Belgian fighter was an alternate in DREAM’s welterweight tournament in 2009 before he was quickly snatched up by Strikeforce, where he has posted a 5-1 record since early 2010, with his only loss coming at the hands of welterweight title contender Tyron Woodley. Saffiedine is most comfortable on his feet, as he’s a black belt in the Shihaishinkai form of karate, but he uses it as a way to wear down his opponents until an opening in their defense is found, in which case he will go for any submissions when they make themselves available.
Strikeforce Welterweight Contender Roger Bowling (+235)
Profile: Roger Bowling (11-2) is always ready for a fight. After collecting a 7-0 record on the independent circuit, the 30-year-old fighter out of Cinncinati, Ohio has gone 4-2 in Strikeforce, including a highly-entertaining trilogy against Bobby Voelker, who has defeated him twice. Many of Bowling’s fights turn into wil...

Strikeforce Opening MMA Odds: Bantamweight Title Ronda Rousey (-475) vs. Sarah Kaufman (+325)
Strikeforce: Rousey vs. Kaufman August, 18 2012 at Valley View Casino Center in San Diego, California
Ronda Rousey (-475)
Profile: Rousey (5-0) is an MMA sensation thanks to the unbeaten start to her career in the sport. While she may lack experience after making her pro debut less than a year ago, she has quickly become one of the most dominant fighters ever. The 25-year-old from Venice was a bronze medalist in judo in the 2008 Olympic Games and made her MMA debut as an amateur on August 6, 2010. Rousey turned pro after her first three fights, each of which ended them all with armbar submission within the first minute. All five of her pro bouts have also ended the same way in the first round, with four of them decided in less than 50 seconds. The exception was her most recent fight against Miesha Tate on March 3 for the Strikeforce women’s bantamweight championship, which ended at 4:27 of the first round and gave her the title.
Sarah Kaufman (+325)
Profile: Kaufman (15-1) is a much more experienced mixed martial artist as the former Strikeforce bantamweight champion with her only loss coming against Marloes Coenen by armbar submission in her second title defense on October 9, 2010. The 26-year-old Canadian has won three straight fights since suffering that lone los... [More]

UFC 150: August 11, 2012 Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado
UFC Lightweight Contender Donald Cerrone (-305)
Profile: Donald Cerrone (18-4) is a long-time WEC vet who has come close to earning gold around his waist on multiple occasions only to fall short. In the WEC, "Cowboy" was 0-3 in shots for the lightweight title, but he always defeated everyone else around him. When the UFC absorbed the WEC, Cerrone went right back to work in an extremely active 2011, fighting in the organization five times going 4-1 and with impressive wins over Paul Kelly, Vagner Rocha, Charles Olivera and Dennis Siver. His six-fight winning streak was snapped when he met Nate Diaz in the Octagon at UFC 141, as he lost a unanimous decision in a bout that won Fight of the Night. Deadly on the feet and with an impressive ground game in a relatively short period of time, this Greg Jackson-trai... [More]

UFC Lightweight Champion Benson Henderson (-165)
Profile: The former WEC lightweight champion and the man to dethrone Frankie Edgar from his 155-pound UFC title, Benson "Smooth" Henderson (16-2) has done nothing but impress in his six-year MMA career. He has a complete fighting game, from a devastating wrestling base to a submission game to make anyone think twice (eight submission wins and a standing guillotine to fear) along with solid stand up and ring intelligence that is off the charts. The 28-year-old Henderson is the future of the sport. The only real blemish on his record came when he lost his WEC lightweight title to Anthony Pettis at WEC 53, but not many people could have won that battle. Henderson's exciting style and well-rounded skill... [More]

He was a Shooto champion, won a Rumble on the Rock tournament and earned Elite XC welterweight and Strikeforce middleweight titles, defending the latter against current UFC light heavyweight contender Dan Henderson. The 33-year-old MMA veteran's UFC tenure has been less impressive than his resume would suggest, however. Despite winning his UFC debut against Martin Kampmann, it was marred by talk of Shields ...

UFC Featherweight Contender Justin Lawrence (-130)
Profile: The protoge of the Nogueira brothers and Anderson Silva at Black House, Justin Lawrence (4-0) has the best camp in MMA developing him for an eventual run at a UFC title. Despite losing in the quarterfinals of The Ultimate Fighter 15, the 22-year-old Lawrence still showed incredible promise as the top overall pick by coach Dominick Cruz and was signed to a UFC contract. He showed why he deserves to be in the organization with a Knockout of the Night performance in his UFC debut at the TUF 15 Finale. After fighting at 155 on the show, Lawrence will make his featherweight and PPV debut at UFC 150.
