SAN JOSE - The UFC put together a dynamite card tonight at the HP Pavilion. Want proof? Look no further than the betting odds. It's a tough call on all the big fights atop this card that features six former high level MMA champions.
Yahoo! Sports' Kevin Iole and Adam Hill from the Las Vegas Review-Journal joined myself last night on the "MMA Insiders" show on ESPN1100/98.9 FM to give their picks.
Iole and Hill both like Mauricio Rua in his fight against Dan Henderson. All three of us jumped on Cung Le minus-160. Urijah Faber was the pick of the crew over Brian Bowles, but all of us warned that minus-220 is a rich price against a guy with one-punch KO power. Listen here for the breakdown of all the fights.
Make sure to check out the straight up picks from the staff at Bloody Elbow.
