Yahoo! Sports' lead MMA writer Kevin Iole joined "The MMA Insiders" show in Las Vegas to give his plays for UFC 135.
From a gambling standpoint, this is an interesting card to breakdown. The main and co-main events feature veteran fighters tabbed as massive underdog. Who has a better shot - Quinton Jackson or Matt Hughes? Adam Hill from the Las Vegas Review-Journal made a strong case for Hughes over Josh Koscheck.
Three weeks ago, Koscheck seemed to prepping for a fight at middleweight at UFC 139 in November. When Diego Sanchez dropped off this card with an injury, Koscheck jumped at the chance to fight Hughes. He looked good at the UFC weigh-in yesterday.
There's heavy public steam on some of the undercard favorites. That's pushing the numbers through the roof.
