Current UFC 128 Betting Odds– Live on Saturday, March 19, 2011 The Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey will host UFC 128. The Main Event of the evening has changed as UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Mauricio “Shogun” Rua (19-4) will now face Jon “Bones” Jones (12-1) with Rashad Evans out due to an injury. We all learned of the news just after Jones defeated Ryan Bader via second round guillotine choke. This will be Shogun’s first title defense and is coming off knee surgery. Shogun hasn’t fought since dethroning Lyoto Machida at UFC 113 about 9 months ago. The odds have started out in favor of the challenger Jones and I’m sure Shogun wasn’t all to happy about that. Jones has looked unstoppable in his young career, but will the veteran Rua the Underdog come in even more motivated to stop him. This may be a good time to take these odds if your planning on Rua to win as they may go down closer to the fight.
