UFC 96: Jackson vs. Jardine Betting Odds

Â
The UFC is back in action this weekend, as UFC 96: Jackson vs. Jardine is set to get underway Saturday March 7th from the Nationwide Arena in Ohio. There is plenty to like on this fight card, as you not only get the main event of Quinton “Rampage” Jackson taking on Keith “The Dean of Mean” Jardine, you get a great heavyweight fight between Gabriel Gonzaga and Sane Carwin, a solid middleweight bout between Pete Snell and Matt Brown, a light heavyweight bout between Matt Hammel and Mark Munoz, and a lightweight fight that has to emerging fighters in Gray Maynard and Jim Miller. To help get you going on UFC 96 here is a quick look at each fight and the odds for each fighter to win thanks to BetUS.com.Â
Quinton Jackson (29-7) -350 vs. Keith Jardine (14-5-1) +250
This fight has all the makings of being the fight of the night, as you get two in your face fighters wanting nothing more than to knock the other guy on his ass. Jackson is coming off a huge knockout win over Wanderlei Silva at UFC 92, and a win this weekend will likely put Jackson as the top contender for the Light Heavyweight title. Jardine on the other hand really needs this fight to get him back at the top of this division, as he was embarrassed by Wanderlei Silva two fights ago, but did get a win against Brandon Vera at UFC 89.Â
Gabriel Gonzaga (10-3) -180 vs. Shane Carwin (10-0) +150
This is a real interesting fight, as you the proven Gonzaga taking on the surprise of Carwin, who has walked through everyone he has faced in the UFC in his 3 fights with the organization. Gonzaga has devastating knockout ability with both his first and his legs, and is riding two straight wins over Justin McCully and Josh Hendricks. A win for Carwin and he lets everyone know he is for real, and he likely earns himself a title shot against Brock Lesnar.Â
Pete Snell (8-5) -130 vs. Matt Brown (11-7) EVEN
This fight doesn’t have that same excitement surrounding it that so many of the other fights on this card have, but this could be a pleasant surprise for those fans that tune into the whole event. Snell is making just his 4th fight in the UFC, and is coming in off a submission (arm lock) win over Ryan Thomas at UFC 91. On the other hand Brown is trying to get it going in the UFC, as he is just 2-4 in six fights, but two of those losses came to a good fighter in Nate Quarry and the other two losses were to Thales Leites and Scott Smith. Brown did take home a unanimous decision win over Josh Burkman at UFC 90, and this is a near must win for him this weekend.
Matt Hamill (7-2) -170 vs. Mark Munoz (5-0) +140
Another great fight in the makings in Hamill vs. Munoz, as you get a very experienced UFC fighter in Hamill, whose only losses have come by the hands of Rich Franklin and Michael Bisping, and is coming in off a TKO of Reese Andy at UFC 92. Munoz has a real shot at making his name heard around the UFC if he is able to push his record to 6-0 overall and 3-0 in the UFC, as he already has knock out wins over Ricardo Barros and Chuck Grigsby in his two UFC fights.Â
Gray Maynard (7-0-1) -200 vs. Jim Miller (13-1) +160
By the records alone you can see that this fight has plenty of potential, but while Miller has a loss on his record, he has not lost in the UFC. Maynard has rolled off four straight wins in the UFC after a draw against Rob Emerson in his UFC debut. It will come down to Maynard’s wrestling and striking skills against Miller’s submission techniques and great cardio.
