Sports Books UFC Odds Favor Jones Heavily against Matyushenko
The month of August commences with an interesting UFC competition that will be televised on Versus with the highlight matchup being Jon Jones favored at the sports books versus Vladimir Matyushenko.
Salt Lake City was where the competition was originally scheduled to occur, but it was relocated to San Diego. Jones is a -600 favorite in UFC odds at the online sportsbook to win the headline competition.
MMA sportsbook probabilities will be accessible for the Matyushenko-Jones competition as well as other exciting matches on the card that can be watched on Versus on Sunday, August 1st. There are 4 competitions on the main card. The other fights have Yushin Okami against Mark Munoz, Jake Ellenberger against John Howard and Tyson Griffin against Takanori Gomi, in addition to the headline competition showcasing Jones.
The headliner should be a win for Jones but you can’t say for sure in the UFC. Matyushenko is 24-4 in his career and has won his last three fights. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira was responsible for his previous loss. He encounters a difficult battle in this bout vs the very skilled Jones. In an outstanding win in his last competition, Jones broke Brandon Vera’s cheekbone. He has only lost once and that was a disqualification vs Matt Hamill. If not for being disqualified, he would have won that fight.
The other three bouts on the main card should be more competitive. Jake Ellenberger is -170 against John Howard, Yushin Okami is -210 versus Mark Munoz, and Tyson Griffin is 3-1 in UFC probabilities at the online sportsbook versus Takanori Gomi. That last fight between Griffin and Gomi should be compelling. Griffin is always fun to watch while Gomi is a Japanese celeb who’s seeking to get some notoriety in the United States. Griffin was a substitution in this fight as it was supposed to be Joe Stevenson but he wounded his knee in training.
Matthew Riddle versus DaMarques Johnson, James Irvin against Igor Pokrajac, Paul Kelly versus Jacob Volkmann, Brian Stann against Mike Massenzio, Williamy Freire vs Thiago Tavares, Darren Elkins vs Charles Oliveira and Rob Kimmons against Steve Steinbeiss round out the preliminary card.
UFC on Versus 2 sets the stage for an intriguing month of UFC betting odds action as just 6 days later it will likely be UFC 117 on Saturday, August 7th.
