UFC Main Events are known for their great quantity of fighting skill and presenting the greatest names in MMA, but the UFC 122 Main Event to be hosted in Oberhausen Germany on November 13th is a notable exception.



Perhaps UFC buffs have become too pampered or too spoiled and expect every Main Event to showcase a championship bout between Brock Lesnar and Cain Velasquez. Or maybe they’ve just grown used to seeing leading competitor after leading competitor in the Main Events. Whatever the cause, the UFC 122 odds roster comes as a bit of a shock to the system.

After seeing some greatly memorable fights this year in the UFC Main Events the UFC 122 betting roster is without doubt the least attractive competition of the entire calendar year and one of the greatest let downs in recent MMA history.

The cause for this drop off in skill is clear: any time the UFC hosts an competition outside of the US the fighting skill tends to go away as the UFC tries to showcase competitors from the sponsor nation. This makes sense on lots of levels. It is a excellent chance for the UFC to grow its brand on a worldwide scale and increase the box office.

And in the long-term picture for MMA competition that might be a excellent issue. But for sports betting buffs trying to make a wager or two on the approaching UFC 122 betting roster it’s somewhat frustrating.

It is usually more enjoyable to wager on leading names. Even if it doesn’t make lots of sense we would rather wager on a name like Anderson Silva or Lesnar or St Pierre just considering the joy of observing a world famous competitor defend his championship implies more fame and gives an additional rush to the wagering.

But even if we are not betting on a world champ it’s still desirable to wager on competitors you are at least acquainted with –for clear reasons.

At the UFC 122 betting competition, short of the two headline competitors (Nate Marquardt and Yushin Okami), the rest of the list are relatively mysterious or a has-been. And who wants to wager on that sort of roster?

The sole savior of this bout is the possibility that the champ will go onto confront Anderson Silva for the championship. However, both competitors have had their shot at Silva in the past, and both failed to impress. Marquardt got his chance in July 2007 at UFC 73. He lost the tournament that night by technical knockout because of strikes. Okami was earlier scheduled to encounter Anderson Silva in the course of UFC 90 but was pressured to withdraw because of a broken hand. Either of these competitors facing such a legend at this point will be anticlimactic, and not just considering Silva will wipe the mat with them. Even if 1 of them gets the chance, and even if they manage to win the bout against Silva, it will feel like the belt was stolen from him by someone who tripped into fame.
