UFC 89 Betting Odds: Ignore Your Loyalties and Preferences at SBG Global

The UFC 89 betting odds feature two primary matchups. One of these matchups involves Michael Bisping facing off against Chris Leben (the current UFC 89 odds have Bisping as a -200 favorite) and the second matchup involves Brandon Vera facing off against Keith Jardine (the current UFC 89 odds have Vera as a -180 favorite). To handicap these UFC 89 betting odds effectively there are numerous important factors to consider. For instance, when handicapping the Bisping-Leben UFC 89 betting odds one must consider the advantage Bisping will have fighting in his home country of England or Leben’s ability to withstand a barrage of punches from a more talented fighter. When handicapping the Vera-Jardine UFC 89 betting odds one must consider Vera’s ability to fight at 205 pounds and Jardine’s ability to recover from two recent knockout losses.

However, one’s impression of the UFC betting odds should not be swayed by irrelevant factors, like a preference for certain fighters. Naturally, most MMA fans support certain fighters and dislike other fighters, but it is a mistake to allow these opinions to influence one’s assessment of the UFC odds. The UFC 89 betting odds for the Bisping-Leben fight are probably the most likely to be handicapped based on irrelevant factors, simply due to the two fighters’ nationalities. Bisping is from England and UFC is being held in Birmingham, England, so these UFC betting odds are guaranteed to be particularly popular among British bettors.

On the other hand, American bettors may feel a bias toward Leben as they handicap the UFC 89 betting odds. It is true that Bisping may benefit from fighting in his home country, so it is acceptable to acknowledge this factor in the UFC betting odds. However, it is unwise to simply wager on Bisping because he is English and you are English as well, or vice versa. In other words, you must focus on only relevant factors when you evaluate the UFC betting odds even if it requires a deliberate effort to ignore your favoritism toward certain fighters.
