  • BookMaker.eu This Saturday’s UFC 208 main event is a historic moment for the promotion, as Holly Holm and Germaine De Randamie will fight in the first-ever featherweight bout for the inaugural title. But it just doesn’t feel very special. For starters, pound-for-pound queen Cris Cyborg is nowhere near this fight - the Brazilian is long regarded as easily the best 145-pound fighter in the world....

  • BookMaker.eu It’s been a long time since the greatest middleweight of all time has won a fight.

  • BookMaker.eu Middleweight contender Ronaldo Souza (23-4, 3 KOs, 16 SUBs) will meet veteran Tim Boetch (20-10, 10 KOs, 5 SUBs) at UFC 208 on Saturday, February 11, 2017 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

  • BookMaker.eu It looks like we have seen the last of Ronda Rousey in MMA as UFC President Dana White said he thinks Rousey is done. Rousey dominated women’s MMA winning her first 12 fights and she put women’s MMA on the map but her run ended late in 2015 as she was beaten by Holly Holm at UFC 193 and after taking more than a year off, Rousey was crushed by Amanda Nunes at UFC 207 in December of 2016. Now it appears Rousey is done fighting.... 

  • BookMaker.eu Some Fight Nights are meh. This Saturday’s card in Houston is anything but. In fact, I’d argue that it’s just as good as some of the UFC on FOX offerings we had in the past, and it’s a helluva lot tastier than anything on UFC Fight Pass. With stars, prospects and contenders lining the main event, it’s definitely worthy of your time and betting dollars.... 

  • BookMaker.eu The Korean Zombie is back from the dead. After serving a mandatory two-year stint in the South Korean army, former title challenger Chan Sung Jung will rejoin a featherweight division that looks vastly different than the one he left. But he can prove that he still belongs in the elite tier of contenders with a win over the No. 8 ranked Dennis Bermudez in the main event of this Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 104.Let’s take a look at your UFC betting odds and break down a highly entertaining scrap.... 

  • BookMaker.eu Undefeated blue chip prospect Alexa Grasso made good in her UFC debut against Heather Clark. This Saturday, she’ll take a step up in competition against respected veteran Felice Herrig. The matchup is a litmus test for the rising Mexican star, who many expect to be a contender by the year’s end.Let’s take a look at your UFC betting odds and break down a highly entertaining scrap.... 

  • BookMaker.eu Ovince St. Preux has found wins hard to come by lately, going just 1-3 in his past four. But this Saturday marks an excellent opportunity for a win as he faces injury replacement Volkan Oezdemir. For the No. 6-ranked OSP, a loss to the UFC rookie would be disastrous, as he’d be seen as nothing more than a fringe contender at best.Let’s take a look at your UFC betting odds and break down this 205-pound tilt.... 

  • BookMaker.eu Who do bettors like at UFC on FOX 23 on Saturday night? The main card on FOX features four fights with the headliner having Julianna Pena taking on Valentina Shevchenko.

  • BookMaker.eu If you compare this Saturday’s free UFC on FOX 23 with next month’s UFC 208 pay-per-view offering, it could be easily argued that the former is a better deal.

  • BookMaker.eu No. 1, meet No. 2. Valentina Shevchenko, the top-ranked women’s bantamweight contender, will square off this Saturday against Julianna Pena, who falls just one spot below her in the UFC rankings. Though Dana White has yet to officially declare this a title eliminator, it’s almost a certainty that the winner will be next for champion Amanda Nunes.... 

  • BookMaker.eu Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone had an eye-opening 2016, smashing his way to a 4-0 record in a new weight class and emerging as a contender at welterweight. He’s earned the right to face a fellow top-5 fighter, but instead he’s meeting No. 12 Jorge Masvidal. It’s a dangerous matchup for Cowboy, but he’s never shied away from a good scrap.... 

  • BookMaker.eu The middleweight division is currently controlled by Michael Bisping but this is a top-heavy division with a number of capable challengers. Bisping surprised Luke Rockhold last year to win the title at UFC 199 and he has defended his title once as he beat Dan Henderson at UFC 204. There are a number of challengers lined up to take on Bisping including Yoel Romero who will get his chance once Bisping has recovered from injury.

  • BookMaker.eu When it comes to UFC betting there is no question that favorites are more popular but underdogs are usually more profitable. The first event in 2017 was heavily in favor of the favorites as 10 of the 12 fights at UFC Fight Night 103 went to the favorite. One fight was listed as a pick so only one underdog cashed for bettors. It is not unusual to see favorites win as they hit at over 60% in UFC betting but it is unusual to see 10 of 11 come through. Let’s look back at what happened in the first event of 2017, look back at the UFC betting numbers for 2016 and look ahead to the next UFC events....

  • BookMaker.eu What are the big main events in MMA to look forward to early in 2017? You might think that UFC events would get all of the attention but that is not the case as Bellator has an excellent main event on January 21st at Bellator 170 as Tito Ortiz takes on Chael Sonnen. That fight definitely has more appeal than some of the upcoming UFC main events like Rodriguez vs. Penn or Shevchenko vs. Pena. The good news for the UFC is that UFC 209 in March will feature a rematch between Tyrone Woodley and Stephen Thompson. Let’s look at what is coming up in the next few months in UFC and Bellator....

  • BookMaker.eu What can we expect in MMA action for 2017? Will the UFC have another monster year or will the sale of the UFC to WME-IMG mark the beginning of a big downturn for the UFC? Is 2017 the year that Bellator will make huge gains and take away some of the UFC audience?
