UFC 125: Resolution, from the MGM in Las Vegas on Saturday, January 1^st, 2011 or New Year’s Day if you weren’t aware!

Fight fans should rejoice, as the UFC 125 betting lines are up. The main card puts Frankie Edgar vs. Gray Maynard in a seriously tough battle for the Lightweight Championship. Frankie may have to use different fighting tactics versus the undefeated Maynard than he did in his two victories over BJ. After all, Edgar has but one loss in his MMA career. That loss came in April 2008…at the hands of Gray Maynard.

But Edgar vs. Maynard isn’t the only reason to watch and get a few wagers down! Check out a preview of UFC 125 below!

Main Event

Frankie Edgar 13-1 vs. Gray Maynard 11-0 – Money has continued to flow in on the undefeated Maynard since UFC odds makers set the betting lines for the main event bout at UFC 125.  Frankie has used his quick hands to upset BJ Penn twice since losing to Maynard, but Gray is a bull-dogish type guy that should use his 2-inch height advantage to maximum effect in this bout.  At +110, and with more experience under his belt, Frankie is a tough to guy to bet against, though.

Chris Leben 21-6 vs. Brian Stann 9-3 – The 5’ 11” Chris Leben is a -180 fave to dominate the taller Brian Stann on New Year’s Day.  Both of these guys have a lot of power but Stann’s chin may not be able to stand up to Leben’s fists while Leben’s chin no doubt will stand up to Stann’s fists.

Brandon Vera 11-5 vs. Thiago Silva 14-2 – Both Vera and Silva are excellent strikers, meaning that their battle on Saturday night should be a great one for fans to watch.  Silva is the -160 favorite, but most fight fans agree that Vera definitely has an puncher’s chance (+130 in the UFC sportsbook) to take down Silva.  This could be the fight of the night.

Nate Diaz 13-5 vs. Dong Huyn Kim 13-0-1 – Diaz could have the upper hand in this fight if it goes to the ground, but Kim is undefeated for a reason.  So far, UFC betting fans are all over Kim at -125 to Diaz’s -105 odds.  This should be a very good battle with both guys throwing down hardcore.

Clay Guida 13-8 vs. Takanori Gomi 32-6 – Guida is one of the most respected fighters at UFC. That’s the real reason why he’s a -150 favorite in the sportsbook to beat Takanori Gomi.  Guida trains with some of the best in the world.  He should make quick work of Gomi who, although a good wrestler, prefers to stand up and strike, playing right into the aggressive Guida’s hands.

**Highlighted in yellow are my picks for this one.**
