Like in anything, predicting the outcome of a series of events, or in this case, an MMA event, variables, facts and adjustments have to be discussed. "MikeyPatriot" of Bloodyelobow.com mentioned a few to discuss and from there, Sports-odds.com has added a few more pieces of advice in general for MMA betting, and a few specifics for UFC 82 this weekend. BodogLife.com has Anderson Silva as a -145 MMA betting favorite in Anderson Silva vs Dan Henderson for UFC 82.

MikeyPatriot says:
"Watching tape of both fighters is usually enough to give you a good idea of how you think the fight will go.  There will be times, however, when fight film alone is insufficient or lacking.  At that point, you will have to find other sources of information to help guide you.

One source of information that can help supplement you is the weigh-ins.  Did a guy have to cut a large amount of weight that could affect his energy levels at fight time?  Did someone come in significantly under the weight limit?  Does one fighter look larger than the other, side-by-side?  

Other useful bits of info:

• Did the fighter have enough time to properly train?
  
• Has the fighter been knocked out in his last fight?
  
• Is the fighter comfortable and/or experienced with the rules and fight environment?
  
• Does the fighter come from a solid team/camp?
  
• Which fighter has more to gain or lose from the fight?"

In addition to those great points, here are some of our own:

* Has the fighter come from a stable fight camp that he has been with for long?
* Has the fighter traveled a lot in the week up until the fight?
* Does the fighter have the next fight already in the work?
* Is the fighter on his home turf?

 

BodogLife.com has Chris Leben as a -160 MMA betting favorite for UFC 82 Saturday night in Chris Leben vs Alessio Sakara.

In relation to this upcoming UFC, UFC 82 in Ohio, some of these are important to ask.

Anderson Silva looks great. A week ago on Sports-odds.com we reported that he looked healthy and had no sign of injury. He was also in great spirits. His training with the UFC heavyweight champion cannot be hurting his game.

 

In terms of stable fight camps, and recent performances, no one else has more to overcome than former middleweight champion Evan Tanner. BodogLife.com has Andre Arlovski as a -350 MMA favorite this Saturday night in UFC 82 Andrei Arlovski vs Jack O'Brien.

Sakara is now with the famous ATT to fine tune his skills. Maybe his recent losses are a thing of the past. But will being at a lighter weight be a problem for him? Two weeks ago I saw him and he seemed in good health as he ran through the lobby of the Holiday Inn where the fighters were staying for the Elite XC in Miami.

Jorge Gurgel is an Ohio boy at this point. That means less travel and a lot of crowd cheering. It also means everyone from his first American Girlfriend to the guy who pumps his gas wants a piece of him. How will it do for him? I did the research for you. Jorge is 1-1 in Ohio. His last fight was a loss in the UFC in Ohio, but back in July of 2003, he did have a victory in Ohio.
