Merab Dvalishvili and Sean O'Malley meet in the UFC bantamweight title rematch.

Merab should open as a -400 favorite in the rematch right? The first betting line I saw had Merab .

But odds are n’t necessarily always a true reflection of what oddsmakers think of each fighter’s odds.

No one has yet surpassed the accomplishments of Mighty Mouse , Cruz , Aldo , GSP , Silva, Jones , Fedor, in their respective weight classes.

At every level of the sport, fighters are better. They're more well-rounded and better athletes. I think there are a lot of downgrades you can blame on the UFC 's shift from popularization of MMA to relentless monetization.

Dan Henderson was in his early 40s when he had that incredible first fight with “ Shogun” Rua , who was only around 30 at the time but already had several lifetimes worth of fights.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see the pay-per-views stay with ESPN .
