Bet UFC 123: Jackson vs. Machida at betED.com
The Ultimate Fighting Championship returns to the Detroit area for the first time since UFC 9 with UFC 123 on Saturday at the Palace at Auburn Hills.
The main event features Quinton ?Rampage? Jackson taking on Lyoto ?The Dragon? Machida in a highly anticipated light heavyweight bout.
MMA Odds at betED.com have Machida as a -180 favorite and Jackson as a +220 underdog.
These two fighters possess contrasting styles, with Jackson (30 wins, 8 losses) considered more of an old-school, in-your-face brawler with dominating strength. He?s also a superior wrestler who can win a fight with both his hands and feet.
Machida (16-1) relies more heavily on his expert Karate background, which has proven to take opponents off-guard and can result in quick counter blows.
Both are coming off big losses, with Machida?s loss to ?Shogun? Rua the first of his pro MMA career.
Also on the card Saturday is a bout between BJ Penn and Matt Hughes, another fight many MMA fans are looking forward to as this is the third clash between the former champions.
Penn is a -175 moneyline favorite and Hughes is a +145 underdog in UFC 123 Odds.
The fighters have split their two previous bouts. They are both on the downsides of their respective careers.
Not long ago, Hughes was one of the most feared fighters in MMA, and also had one of the longest winning streaks in UFC history. Penn is coming off two straight losses but is still respected as being one of the best at the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu fighting style ever.
