UFC 113 Betting Odds: The UFC returns to Montreal, Quebec, Canada tomorrow night as Light Heavyweight Champion Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida defends his belt against top ranked challenger Mauricio "Shogun" Rua for a second time. The 11 fight card also features a welterweight battle between top contenders Josh Koscheck and Paul Daley as well as a heavyweight clash between TUF Season 11 cast members Kimbo Slice and Matt Mitrione. UFC 113 is scheduled to get underway at 10:00pm ET at the Bell Centre; the event can be seen live on Pay-Per-View.
UFC 113 Betting Odds at online bookmaker BetUS.com have Machida listed as a -185 moneyline favorite in his rematch
with the veteran Rua.
Lyoto Machida comes into tomorrow's fight with an unblemished 16-0 professional record; however, many MMA fans contend that the champ caught a break in his last meeting with Rua. Machida did score a unanimous decision victory, but the judges' scores did not keep legions of bloggers and fight fans from publically declaring that the Brazilian lost the battle.
The post-fight noise did not escape Machida, who will be fighting for a certain measure of redemption tomorrow, despite having beat Rua on the official scorecard. The always humble Karate master believes he has the solution for quieting his detractors.
"I will be ready to go all five rounds if that's what it takes to retain my title," Machida said. "But my goal is to finish the fight before it comes to that. I don't want to leave this fight in the judges' hand — I'm ready for war."
The 28 year old Rua, who also hails from Brazil, possesses a 18-4 MMA record, but he is just 2-2 in the UFC after losing to Machida last October. Despite his modest tally inside the Octagon, many believe he is the best light heavyweight in the promotion. The man with the third most knockouts in PRIDE history will aim, once again, to prove them right tomorrow evening.
