UFC betting has Chris Leben favored against Jake Rosholt in their bout on August 29th in UFC 102. Leben is 18-5 in MMA action and 8-4 in the UFC while Jake Rosholt is 5-1 in MMA fights and 0-1 in the UFC. Those that bet on UFC will probably be looking to take Leben in this bout.
UFC betting is headlined by Randy Couture facing Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC 102 in Portland, Oregon. Couture is about a 2-1 sports betting favorite in this feature bout. Leben vs. Rosholt is also part of the five-bout televised card. Leben is from Oregon so he will be a popular choice in UFC betting. It is his first fight in UFC betting since his loss to Michael Bisping at UFC 89. Leben failed a drug test for UFC 89 and has since apologized for using a banned substance but he was still suspended for nine months. “It was tough,” said Leben, “It still is tough. It’s embarrassing, and unfortunately, it affected me socially and financially. … A lot of people weren’t too stoked with me.” Before that loss to Bispring, Leben had won fights against Terry Martin and Alessio Sakara in UFC betting. The fight against Rosholt is huge for Leben since Portland is his hometown.
Rosholt has moved to the UFC from the WEC. He is a three-time NCAA national wrestling champion. That talent didn’t do him much good though when he faced Dan Miller in UFC betting. Miller caught him with a guillotine choke in the first round of their UFC Fight Night 17 bout and it was over.
This fight will be a contest to see which fighter gets his way. If Leben keeps the fight upright then he is probably going to win in UFC betting. If the fight goes to the ground then Rosholt will have a big edge and should win in UFC betting.
