UFC betting lived up to its advance billing for UFC 110 as Australia enjoyed great fighting action this past Saturday.
Cain Velasquez delivered a knockout of Antonio Rodriguo Nogueira in the first round to highlight UFC odds.
UFC on Velasquez was popular so bettors were rewarded. “I have a lot of respect for Nog.” Velasquez said, “I had to fight a smart fight and watch out for his power, I started throwing combinations and decided to always follow them up with a left hook. It is easy to say that you can tire someone out, but it is much harder than it seems, I did not know if we could do that. The crowd was giving me energy; it seemed with every combination you could hear them cheer. We really had a good game plan and I give credit to it.”
There was some other great action in UFC odds. It was Wanderlei Silva taking a unanimous decision over Michael Bisping. “My coaches prepared me for all positions; I am thankful. It was a great fight for the fans.” Silva said, “I believe I won the fight; I should have let my hands go more. At this point in my career I am very happy for me.” George Sotiropoulos defeated Joe Stevenson by unanimous decision. “I feel good, I am happy that I won; crowd gave me a lot of energy. I knew I could control stand-up and ground with my. Joe only has wrestling.” Sotiropoulos said, “I need to thank my coaches they helped me train for everything in this fight. I pulled off everything that I was working on. I do not think that I earned a title shot yet, but I think that I am on my way. As long as I keep performing the fights will come.”
