Two of the most popular fighters in the UFC square off in the octagon Saturday evening as Quinton “Rampage” Jackson defends his light heavyweight title against Forrest Griffin and as always, Sportsbook.com will have all the odds for the nine fight card. Rival coaches on this past season’s The Ultimate Fighter television show, Griffin’s team beat up on Jackson’s team on a weekly basis. Now it’s time for Jackson to get some revenge while proving he is the best 205 pounder in the UFC. This is just Jackson’s second title defense since knocking out than champion Chuck Liddell over a year ago. With great wrestling skills, heavy hands and devastating body slams; “Rampage” is one of the most intimidating and feared fighters in all of MMA today.  When asked why he started training for MMA, the champ replied, “So I could beat up folks without getting into trouble, and get paid for it.” Since entering MMA nine years ago, Jackson has fought some of the best fighters ever in the sport including: Liddell, Dan Henderson, Matt Lindland, Wanderlei Silva and Mauricio Rua. Despite having fought the “who’s who” of MMA light heavyweights, Jackson shouldn’t take this fight with the greener Griffin lightly. Griffin (+235) has been made the heavy underdog to dethrone Jackson (-295) by the handicappers at Sportsbook.com; however, this is a role he obviously relishes. After all, it was just about nine months ago when the former cop shocked the MMA world by defeating the aforementioned Rua by rear naked choke to earn a title shot. Don’t miss out on betting on the fastest growing sport in the country. With nine fights to choose from “UFC 86: Jackson vs. Griffin” promises to be an action packed card.
