Fedor Emelianenko A Ridiculous Favorite
Want to bet on Fedor Emelianenko to destroy Fabricio Werdum Saturday night? It will cost you dearly. There are other options, however, that offer much improved payout potential.
Mixed Martial Arts fans and oddsmakers alike believe that Fabricio Werdum does not stand a chance to beat one of the greats in the sport, Fedor Emelianenko. In order to bet Emelianenko to win, one must wager $55 for a $10 payout during Saturday night's Strikeforce bout.
"There is actually some value when you consider how Emelianenko is seen as a virtual ‘lock here'," argues Gambling911.com's Don Shapiro. "One would make a $10 profit for every $55 bet at Sportsbetting.com. The $55 bet is refunded provided Emelianenko wins."
The Russian heavyweight mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter is the current World Alliance of Mixed Martial Arts (WAMMA) Heavyweight Champion and the last holder of the Pride Heavyweight Championship. He has won numerous tournaments and accolades in multiple sports, most notably the Pride 2004 Grand Prix and the World Combat Sambo championship on four occasions, as well as medaling in the Russian national Judo championship.
Emelianenko has been universally considered the best heavyweight fighter in the world for the last seven years by major publications, including ESPN.com, Sherdog, Full Contact Fighter, MMA Weekly, and Nokaut.
This is a marquee betting event where Sportsbetting.com is concerned and as such have posted odds on the actual outcome of this fight (i.e. Fedor Emelianenko win by KO, etc..) with much better payout odds.
Emelianenko win by Unanimous Decision pays out 6/5 odds for example.
