Two Huge Upcoming Events From the World of Combat Sports

Posted on March 12, 2023 by A. J. Riot

The world of combat sports has been on fire recently. Back on February 12th, we were treated to one of the greatest MMA fights in history when Islam Makhachev and Alexander Volkanovski squared off in Perth, Australia for the right to be called the UFC’s pound-for-pound king. In the end, it was the Dagestani fighter that scraped a unanimous decision victory, a victory which wasn’t enough to usurp Alexander The Great from the top of the pound-for-pound charts.

Then, on March 5th, the GOAT returned. Jon Jones is many people’s consensus pick as the greatest mixed martial artist of all time, and he returned to the Octagon to make his heavyweight debut three years on from his last fight, a victory over Dominick Reyes at UFC 247 in December 2020.

He immediately challenged for the heavyweight title against Cyril Gane, the French striking sensation who formerly held the interim heavyweight championship. Yet, online sportsbook Bodog’s UFC betting odds made Jonny Bones the favorite for the bout, despite his long layoff and the fact that it was his first fight at a weight above 206 pounds. In the end, the bookie was proven right. Jones made light work of his French opponent, submitting him in the first round and securing his legacy as the greatest MMA fighter that’s ever lived.

It’s crazy to think that those two mega-events were barely three weeks apart. But don’t worry fight fans, the fun isn’t over yet. In fact, it’s just getting started.

Can Jon Jones Join the Exclusive Club of Two-Weight Champions at UFC 285?

Posted on March 1, 2023 by A. J. Riot

In the ranks of the UFC, only seven fighters have ever won championship belts in two weight divisions.

But in some ways, if Jon Jones can join that exclusive club by defeating Ciryl Gane at UFC 285 on Saturday, his elevation would be the most impressive of all.

Bones has been out of the Octagon for more than three years, with his last outing coming way back in February 2020 when he beat Dominick Reyes in controversial circumstances.

Since then, the 35-year-old has been inactive – in the UFC, at least, but not in the gym, where his 60lb weight gain has been manifested following sessions with champion bodybuilder Stan Efferding.

Did you say Jon Jones? 😳@JonnyBones officially returns SATURDAY at #UFC285!! pic.twitter.com/EzA5OztNv4

Volkanovski Has to Defy the Odds Against Makhachev

Posted on January 19, 2023 by A. J. Riot

Only four fighters in the history of the UFC have held championship belts in two weight divisions. Conor McGregor, Daniel Cormier, and Henry Cejudo have managed it in the men’s brand, while Amanda Nunes is the only female star to become a double champion.

UFC pound-for-pound number one Alexander Volkanovski is looking to add his name to that list when he steps up in weight to face lightweight champion Islam Makhachev at UFC 284 in Perth, Australia. It is billed as one of the biggest events in world sport in 2023.

Not only will Volkanovski be fighting a man who is bigger than him, but Makhachev is one of the most dangerous operators in UFC, as he has won his last five fights inside the distance. He forced a submission from Charles Oliveira to claim his world title last October at UFC 280.

The oddsmakers make Volkanovski the underdog in this fight. He is +260 with Bodog to prevail and cause an upset. Not only can fans get the best UFC odds with the sportsbook, but they can land up to $400 in welcome promotion when they open an account.
