Is it known which UFC, or other MMA event, had the most betting dogs win at the event? It seems like it would be the quintessential don't bet on MMA. I was racking my brain and it seems like UFC 92 would be a good bet but I can't find the lines from it.

If anyone bet money on Sakara v Leites they were a loser before the bell even rang.

J-Mac's definitely the best bet. Belcher is the better fighter, but his eye was poked out and he's coming off a year and a half layoff so he could be really lovely. At +240 he's really tempting.

Cody Mckenzie at +140 also seems like a decent bet, since all we've seen of Vagner Rocha is the ability to get kicked in the leg over and over again and the only reason he's in the UFC is because he was a late replacement last June.

Don't bet on MMA. Given the Mayweather-Ortiz situation we can change it to simply "Don't Bet" at this point.

Akiyama has served as an Asian shaped punching bag since joining the UFC, right?

He's lost all but his first fight against Alan Belcher at UFC 100 and that was arguably a gift. To be fair he was winning his fight with Chris Leben two rounds to none before he was submitted. From the bottom. By Chris loving Leben.

So I just did a Lawlor/Ring/Kampmann parlay. Am I gonna get smoked, or am I right in thinking that those fights are going to be closer than the odds dictate? (3.10/2.90/2.10 in that order) Also, I put a few bucks on Condit because if GSP wins I get to retain my pride as a Canadian, and if Condit wins, at least I'll make some money.

My betting agency is offering money on the following

Conor McGregor to win a UFC title by the end of 2014 @+450
Conor McGregor to win a UFC title by the end of 2016 @+800

That sounds like awful odds. If he gets a title shot by 2014 (and he would surely only get one) and it was against Jose Aldo, surely his odds in the fight would be at or above +450 anyway. It's crazy to think you are getting the same odds now when he has fought once in the UFC.

Is your betting agency Paddy Power by any chance?

I am quoting to let you know that I am, in the parlance, down with this conceptualisation of how to help Novak win. Novak will win anyway because he would give Nick Diaz a heart attack but still insurance doesn't hurt.

There's a guy on F4Wonline who posts MMA betting tips:


If you can't tell he's been losing money. It's one thing to pick Bosse, it is another to be impressed by wins over Houston Alexander and Wes Sims.
