There’s a heavyweight fight rumored for this summer, and it is a large one. Based on MMAjunkie.com, former Strikeforce heavyweight winner Alistair Overeem is predicted to come back to the cage at UFC 164, which takes place August 31 at Bradley Center in Milwaukee, WI. And his rumored competition is none aside from heavyweight banger Travis Browne, although this struggle is still far from official. If it does materialize, however, expect this to be the co-main occasion for UFC 164 because it’s definitely among the greatest battles of the summer. Overeem, who was shockingly knocked out by Antonio»Bigfoot» Silva at UFC 156, was set to return to action against Junior dos Santos in UFC 160 but had to pull out because of injuries, but now healthy, he’ll look to get back into title contention by taking out the rising Browne, who also has a recent loss to Silva. This is a fairly even matchup but I really do prefer Browne to win the fight, and I think he can acquire it by knockout. But, Overeem has all the hype and public support behind him and, although he dropped to»Bigfoot,» I expect him to open as the favorite in this fight, perhaps from the -200 range, with all the comeback on Browne becoming +150. And if that is true, then I will definitely be recommending a drama on Browne, who is coming off a KO win over veteran Gabriel Gonzaga. Another wager to goal for this fight will be that it does not go to conclusion, as man has the capability to knock one another out, so definitely look at creating a play on this prop if it’s under -300 come fight night. Lauzon vs. Johnson Booked For UFC on FOX Sports 1 The UFC now booked a lightweight bout between Massachusetts native Joe Lauzon and Michael Johnson to the upcoming UFC on FOX Sports 1 card, which takes place August 17 in Boston, MA. The battle will probably be a preliminary card bout. This is an excellent battle between 2 of the more exciting fighters in the UFC lightweight division so kudos to UFC matchmaker Joe Silva for reserving it. For Lauzon, it’s a chance to redeem himself after losing to Jim Miller at a war at UFC 155, while Johnson really needs to bounce back major time after suffering back-to-back beats to Myles Jury and Reza Madadi. This is an aggressive struggle if it remains standing but when it strikes the floor then Lauzon, who is a BJJ ace, will have a massive edge over Johnson, who has a very poor ground game. Therefore, I anticipate Lauzon to open at about -230 or so with the launching comeback on Johnson being around +170, although things may easily change when the public decides they like Johnson to triumph. Personally, I believe that this is a really great matchup for Lauzon therefore I’d call him to win and that I certainly would be targeting him for a bet this summer, in addition to targeting the Lauzon via entry prop.
