August 14, 2007
I updated the UFC 74 odds page with new odds from BetUS and Bodog.

Eric Foster, a writer for the new FIGHT magazine did a column about MMA betting. It’s a solid piece for an intro to MMA betting. I went over most of the same points in my how to bet on UFC fights article.
The exciting sport of mixed-martial arts is exploding in popularity and so is interest in wagering on the fights. Until you try it, you have no idea how much having “action” on a fight can enhance the event - even if it’s only a few dollars at risk.

The Star Ledger in New Jersey is confirming news that a rematch between Tito Ortiz and Rashad Evans will happen.
“It wasn’t my best performance and Rashad is tough as hell,” Ortiz (16-5-1) said. “He was a tougher guy than I thought he was going to be. Since it’s a draw … we can do it again.”
Ortiz will get his wish. UFC president Dana White said yesterday that Ortiz-Evans II will happen in a matter of months.
UFC 73 betting results
July 8, 2007
UFC 73 offered some great fights, and also a lot of missed opportunities for some fighters. Overall I think it was a great night, and the favorites definitely dominated, which I wasn’t prepared for. The underdogs have been doing very good lately in the UFC matches, but this time around it was a totally different ballgame. I really didn’t know enough about the fighters on the undercard to make any good wagers, so I stayed away and bet on the main bouts.
Favorites - 7 wins, 1 draw
Underdogs - 0 wins, 1 draw
