So the Pacquiao vs De La Hoya line is now pretty much skyrocketing, as I could’ve predicted for you in my last post. Really, this is shaping up to be the PPV event of the decade, not to mention guaranteed rioting in the Phillipines either way (anybody got an over/under on that?). So tomorrow’s all well and good for the old-fashioned boxing-match fans, but what about us gals who want something a little more, well…physical?

That’s an easy one: more UFC odds!

We’re a lucky lot of MMA-lovin’ women this time around, as there’s not one but two events to be looking forward to. First up is some UFC Fight Night betting on December 10, and although this event isn’t as high-profile as some others - it’s the annual “Fight for the Troops” show, though the extra dose of patriotism certainly doesn’t hurt the WWE when they do it - it’s got a great bout upcoming between Josh Koscheck and Yoshiyuki Yoshida. Although Koscheck lost his last fight at UFC 90, Yoshida hasn’t even fought since UFC 89 (though he put in a stunning performance then), so it’s pretty easy to see who might have the advantage here. Sure enough, MMA lines put Koscheck as the better pick. Go for it.

Also, if you’re not big on the Emerald Bowl betting on December 27, then try some UFC 92 odds on for size. It’s the Griffin vs Evans show here, and although I have my doubts about any contestant culled from a reality show, you can’t argue that it’s not an interesting matchup for a headlining fight. Griffin is simple stylistically, but quite literally packs a punch. Evans is the more flashy fighter, but he can’t be underestimated either. Sure enough, the Griffin vs Evans line may favor Griffin for his hard-hitting style, but I’m going to have to go with Evans here. More stamina. More fun to watch. Perfect when you want to have fisticuff entertainment during the holidays that doesn’t involve drunken in-laws.

Happy holidays!
