UFC Main Events are noted for their plethora of fighting skill and presenting the largest names in MMA, however the UFC 122 Main Event to be presented in Oberhausen Germany on November 13th is a noteworthy exception.



Perhaps UFC fanatics have become too pampered or too spoiled and expect every Main Event to showcase a title match between Brock Lesnar and Cain Velasquez. Or maybe they have just become accustomed to seeing top fighter after top fighter in the Main Events. Whatever the reason, the UFC 122 probabilities roster comes as somewhat of a surprise to the system.

Following seeing some very unforgettable bouts this year in the UFC Main Events the UFC 122 betting roster is absolutely the least desirable competition of the entire calendar year and one of the largest let downs in recent MMA history.

The grounds for this steep decline in skill is apparent: when the UFC sponsors an competition beyond the borders of the US the fighting skill is likely to fall off as the UFC tries to showcase competitors from the sponsor country. This makes sense on plenty of levels. It is a fantastic chance for the UFC to grow its brand on a international scale and boost the box office.

And in the long term picture for MMA action that might be a fantastic issue. But for sports betting fanatics looking to make a bet or two on the impending UFC 122 betting roster it’s a little frustrating.

It is always more satisfying to bet on top names. Even if it does not make plenty of sense we’d rather wager on a name like Anderson Silva or Lesnar or St Pierre just due to the fact the excitement of watching a world famous fighter defend his title implies more fame and gives an additional rush to the wagering.

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

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

The sole savior of this match is the likelihood that the champion will go onto face Anderson Silva for the title. Nevertheless, both competitors have had their chance at Silva in the past, and both did not impress. Marquardt got his opportunity in July 2007 at UFC 73. He lost the championship that night by technical knockout due to strikes. Okami was previously scheduled to confront Anderson Silva during UFC 90 but was pressured to withdraw due to a broken hand. Either of these competitors facing such a icon at this point is going to be anticlimactic, and not just due to the fact Silva is going to wipe the mat with them. Even if 1 of them obtains the opportunity, and even if they find a way to win the match versus Silva, it will feel as though the belt was stolen from him by someone who stumbled into fame.
