UFC 98 Betting Odds: UFC 98 Betting Odds indicate that Lyoto Machida is on his way to UFC superstardom. Easier said than done, however, as the unbeaten Karateka has to get in the ring with knockout specialist and reigning undefeated champion, Rashad Evans. Everything happens tonight at 10 PM ET (7 PM PT), live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, as the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship of the world will be on the line when champ, Rashad Evans takes on the challenger, Lyoto Machida. 
According Online MMA Betting Odds experts at Bodog.com, the Brazilian, Lyoto Machida [-190 ML] is surprisingly listed by most Sports-Books as the UFC 98 Betting Odds favorite to dethrone the UFC 98 Betting Odds underdog, Rashad Evans [+150 ML].
“I don’t know what more he has to do to convince people how good he is,” Dana White said. “In Season 2, he beat the (heck) out of heavyweights. He’s not a big guy, so that had to impress you. But with Rashad, everyone always found an excuse. Rashad, though, he just kept winning and racking up these highlight reel kayos. The kid’s a human highlight reel.
“He’s made a believer of me. You don’t beat the guys he’s beaten and you don’t beat them the way he’s beaten them if you’re not a true elite guy. When you’re talking about the best guys, Rashad is right up there with them.”
Many people believe and have predicted that Evans will knock out Machida and retain his UFC title. Evans, a former wrester at Michigan State, has become infamous for his dramatic knockouts and sensational finishes in the UFC. But, how can you knockout someone you can’t hit? “If you want to know more, then you have to buy the pay-per-view,” Machida said.
I can even begin to imagine what is like to prepare for a fight against someone like Machida. According to Evans, he has solved the riddle. “He doesn’t get hit much, but he does have holes,” Evans said.
“Rashad, he’s beaten some real tough guys,” Sean Sherk said. “He’s really underestimated. Look at the guys he’s beaten. He’s (13-0-1), I believe, and he’s beaten some great guys. But a lot of people underestimate him.”
