UFC betting favors Antonio Rogerio Nogueria as he makes his UFC debut against Luiz Cane in UFC 106. Those that bet on UFC 106 should realize that this is Antonio Rogerio Nogueira not his older brother, former Pride heavyweight champion Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira.
UFC betting has Nogueira with a record of 17-3 with four of those wins by knockout and six by submission. It may not be an easy debut fight for Nogueira since Luiz Cane is a talented fighter who has excellent striking ability. He has lost only once in his UFC betting career and that was by disqualification. Eight of Cane’s 10 wins have come by knockout so you know what to expect if Cane wins this bout on Saturday in UFC betting.
This is definitely an intriguing fight for those that bet on UFC 106. The talent edge could be with Cane while Nogueira has more experience although not in UFC betting. The question that has to be answered as you bet on UFC 106 is which fighter is ready for the big time. Cane has won three times in the UFC but his competition hasn’t been that good. Fights against Sokoudjou, Cantwell, and Lambert really are not impressive UFC betting wins.
Nogueira has probably faced better fighters in Pride as he defeated Kazushi Sakuraba, Dan Henderson, Alistair Overeem a couple of times and Vladimir Matyushenko. He also lost to Sokoudjou and that was a major upset defeat for him.
If Cane wins in UFC betting then this fight will probably end by knockout. If Nogueira wins then the fight could go the distance since many times when Nogueira wins it is by decision. Keep in mind though as you bet on UFC 106 that Nogueira has changed his style a little bit since 6 of his last 7 fights have not gone the distance.
Nogueira is the UFC betting favorite in this fight. Cane does have the slight edge in striking but Nogueira has the big edge on the ground. If you can submit Dan Henderson then you probably have good ground skills and that is the case for Nogueira in this UFC betting bout. For Nogueira to win this bout in UFC betting he needs to get the fight to the ground. Trading shots with Cane might be a dangerous way to go in UFC betting for Nogueria.
