MMA betting action is back this weekend with UFC on Fox 2. The televised fight card will feature four matchups including a No. 1 contender bout between Chael Sonnen and Michael Bisping. Mark Munoz was originally slotted to face Sonnen, but an injury has forced him out and moved Bisping up on the card.

Since Bisping is a replacement he would normally not get an opportunity to fight an opponent as highly-ranked as Sonnen. However, no fighter in the UFC is going to turn down an opportunity to put themselves in a position to potentially fight for the belt, and MMA betting fans can be sure that Bisping will be game come Saturday night.
Despite being a game opponent Bisping will be a huge underdog against Sonnen, who looks better every time we see him in the Octagon. Oddsmakers at Bovada are currently offering an underdog +325 line on the Bisping upset, while the favored price on Sonnen sits at -450.
As far as style matchups are concerned Bisping will be giving up a lot of edges including a lopsided skill level on the ground. Sonnen will also be superior in the clinch as well as in the take-down attempt department. If Bisping holds any edge it will be in the standing portion of the fight, but if you’re ever watched a Chael Sonnen fight you know that stand-up portions of his fights only continue as long as he wants them to last.
So that leaves Bisping with a puncher’s chance, and at +325 it’s a high-paying chance. There are some MMA bettors that are taking the chance on Bisping and have lowered the Bovada -450 Sonnen line down from -500.
