UFC 93 Preview: Rua vs Coleman

UFC 93 Revenge – Shogun Rua vs Mark Coleman

At the ripe old age of 44 and with his last fight taking place more than two years ago, it seems as if many of the experts aren’t giving Mark “The Hammer” Coleman any sort of chance against Mauricio “Shogun” Rua at UFC 93 in Dublin, Ireland.

The former Ohio State wrestler and one of the pioneers of the wrestling-based “ground and pound” style enters the octagon against the 27-year old Rua as a decided underdog in the betus.com sports books. Rua is a +400 to -250 favorite over Coleman, who beat him by what some observers call a fluky arm break back in 2006.

UFC 93 Preview: Alan Belcher vs Denis Kang

UFC 93 Debut – Alan Belcher vs Denis Kang

No offense to Alan Belcher, but when he enters the octagon on January 17th at UFC 93 in Dublin, Ireland, most eyes in the building will be on his opponent, UFC newcomer Denis Kang.

Kang’s sometimes flashy fighting style and tantalizing athletic ability helped land him a four-fight contract with the UFC after fighting in tons of other organizations, and now the half-Korean, half-French middleweight challenger will have to justify it with a win over Belcher.

Wow going into the championship game weekend the super bowls odds are a little surprising to me. Right now Pittsburgh is the favorite at 3/2, second is Philly at 7/4, third is Baltimore at 7/2, and last is Arizona at 5-1. Really think that this should be flipped between 1st and 2nd because the Eagles beat up the Steelers earlier this year handing them there worst loss of the season.
