UFC betting in UFC 102 on August 29th has Keith Jardine favored against Thiago Silva in what is being termed a co-feature. The other feature bout has Randy Couture facing Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. Both of these fights should be popular with those that bet on UFC action.
UFC betting has a total of 11 bouts on the UFC 102 card including the Jardine vs. Silva fight. Jardine is getting a lot of respect in UFC betting at the online sportsbook in this bout, probably because Silva is coming off a loss. He was defeated by Lyoto Machida at UFC 94 in UFC betting. Before that, he had won four straight in UFC betting. This is a huge bout for Silva in UFC betting since a win over Jardine would put him right back in line for a title shot.
Jardine has been up and down a little bit in UFC. He got a huge win for gamblers who bet on UFC as he won against Forrest Griffin but then he was destroyed by Houston Alexander. He bounced back to win against Chuck Liddell in UFC betting but then was knocked out by Wanderlei Silva. He defeated Brandon Vera but then lost to Quinton “Rampage” Jackson in UFC betting at UFC 96. Which Keith Jardine will we see in this UFC betting matchup against Silva?
Silva has a black-belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and that could be important in this UFC matchup. Silva really doesn’t want to trade punches with Jardine. Getting the fight on the ground is how Silva can win. The problem for Silva is that Jardine rarely stays down long.
This fight is really a battle to see who gets their way. If Jardine keeps this fight upright then he is probably going to win in UFC at the online sportsbook. If the fight stays on the ground then Silva has the better chance of winning.
