 UFC 101 in Philly - Penn vs Florian
June 8th, 2009
Mike Brown managed to spoil the party... again.
In front of an estimated 13,000+ at Arco Arena in Sacramento on Sunday, Brown successfully defended his WEC Featherweight title against superstar challenger Urijah Faber... in Faber's own backyard.
The reception Faber got was tremendous, almost a pro-wrestling like atmosphere. Brown was heavily booed, but moreso because he was "the rival of the hometown favorite" as opposed to anything he himself did to anger the fans.

Mixed martial arts wagering is a relatively recent development.
The good news is that the lines work much the same way as they do in boxing.
Here are some MMA betting tips coming by way of our friend Zach Arnold of FightOpinion.com:
- "Generally anyone who is +200 or higher is someone that a bettor should automatically consider for further analysis in MMA, especially if it's someone in UFC. A lot of times, UFC is really a lot of dirty boxing (unlike the other MMA promotions which are more mat-based), so underdogs are often the *safest* pick in a UFC fight. Recent history proves it."
- "Your most solid bets for favorites in MMA are wrestlers, then Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighters, then strikers. Because there are so many facets to MMA, anyone can win with a lucky punch and therefore underdog bets are always attractive. Otherwise, if you're a onservative bettor, always take the wrestler (with an amateur background, that is) first because they manage to control the action the most in an MMA fight. They may not submit or win by TKO, but they will likely at least get decision wins."
- "The higher the weight class, the more valuable wrestling is. The smaller the weight class, the more submissions and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu come into play. With more speed involved in 155 and 170, submissions are a must. The pure strikers and non-grapplers rarely win ."
We'll have lots more for you in this section, with expert analysis and advice articles on how you can get a lot more pleasure out of your MMA wagering.
