 UFC 86 Betting Odds
Carrie Stroup here
with your UFC 86
betting odds.
Two of the most
popular fighters in
the UFC square off
in the octagon
Saturday evening as
Quinton “Rampage”
Jackson defends his
light heavyweight
title against
Forrest Griffin and
as always,
Sportsbook.com
will have all the
odds for the nine
fight card.
Rival coaches on
this past season’s
The Ultimate Fighter
television show,
Griffin’s team beat
up on Jackson’s team
on a weekly basis.
Now it’s time for
Jackson to get some
revenge while
proving he is the
best 205 pounder in
the UFC.
This is just
Jackson’s second
title defense since
knocking out than
champion Chuck
Liddell over a year
ago. With great
wrestling skills,
heavy hands and
devastating body
slams; “Rampage” is
one of the most
intimidating and
feared fighters in
all of MMA today.
When asked why he
started training for
MMA, the champ
replied, “So I could
beat up folks
without getting into
trouble, and get
paid for it.”
Since entering MMA
nine years ago,
Jackson has fought
some of the best
fighters ever in the
sport including:
Liddell, Dan
Henderson, Matt
Lindland, Wanderlei
Silva and Mauricio
Rua. Despite having
fought the “who’s
who” of MMA light
heavyweights,
Jackson shouldn’t
take this fight with
the greener Griffin
lightly.
Griffin (+235) has
been made the heavy
underdog to dethrone
Jackson (-295) by
the handicappers at
Sportsbook.com;
however, this is a
role he obviously
relishes. After all,
it was just about
nine months ago when
the former cop
shocked the MMA
world by defeating
the aforementioned
Rua by rear naked
choke to earn a
title shot.
Don’t miss out on
betting on the
fastest growing
sport in the
country. With nine
fights to choose
from “UFC 86:
Jackson vs. Griffin”
promises to be an
action packed card.
