UFC 92: The Ultimate 2008 will take place tonight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The huge event is scheduled to start at 10:pm ET and can be seen live on Pay-Per-View. Highlighting the card is a match-up for the Light Heavyweight Championship between current title holder Forrest Griffin and challenger Rashad Evans. UFC 92 Betting Odds at BetUS.com have Griffin listed as a -130 money line favorite. Forrest Griffin burst onto the MMA scene back in 2005 when he became the first Ultimate Fighter Champion. Griffin beat Stephan Bonnar in an epic three round clash to win a UFC contract. Since then the former police officer has compiled a 6-2 UFC record (16-4 overall). The 6'3" Griffin earned the light heavyweight title back in July when he beat Quinton "Rampage" Jackson at UFC 86. The 29 year old came into the Jackson fight with a brilliant game plan and executed it almost flawlessly for five full rounds to secure a unanimous decision. The rangy Griffin is known primarily for his unbelievable conditioning and tremendous heart. But his skills as a fighter have gotten better in each bout, and his ground game, once viewed as a major weakness, is now quite adept. "Sugar" Rashad Evans, the Ultimate Fighter II Champion, is getting his first UFC title shot in tonight's proceedings. Evans is a former Junior College National Champion wrestler, but his fight game is well rounded as his 17-0-1 record attests. The 5'1" Evans his just as capable on his feet as he is on the ground and he has several stunning knockouts to prove it. In his last fight, UFC 88: Breakthrough in September, Evans upset former light heavyweight champ Chuck Liddell with a devasting right hook in the second round. The knock out was undoubtedly one of the best UFC highlights of 2008. Also featured on the amazing 10 fight card are battles between Rampage Jackson and Wanderlei Silva, Antonio Rodrigo Noguera and Frank Mir, and Yushin Okami and Dean Lister.
