Current UFC 146 Betting Odds – On Saturday, May 26, 2012, UFC 146 will air live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. In the main event, newly-crowned UFC Heavyweight champion Junior “Cigano” dos Santos will look to make his first title defense as he faces former UFC Heavyweight champion Frank Mir. Mir is a very well-rounded Heavyweight, with heavy-handed knockout power and submissions from a variety of positions most Heavyweights can’t work from. Dos Santos, though, is without a doubt the Heavyweight division’s most formidable striker, and no one has been able to stand in his way yet. If Mir can get this fight to the ground, where dos Santos has not been largely tested yet, he could be in a great position to reclaim his UFC title. Getting inside dos Santos’ considerable firepower, though, is a lot easier said than done, as Cain Velasquez could attest to. Will Mir’s versatility and experience be enough to stop dos Santos’ deadly striking? Only time will tell.

In the semi-main event, former UFC champ Cain Velasquez will square off against former Strikeforce Heavyweight champion Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva. Both of these guys are coming off disappointing losses, so there is a lot on the line for both fighters. Both of these guys have heavy hands and good grappling, which makes this an interesting style matchup. Rounding out the card are three more featured Heavyweight matchups. In the first, undefeated prospects Stipe Miocic and Shane del Rosario will look to put the first blemish on each other’s professional records. In the second, heavy-handed slugger Dave Herman will face Ultimate Fighter winner Roy “Big Country” Nelson. In the last bout of the main card, recently triumphant Lavar Johnson will return to action against well-rounded Dutchman Stefan “Skyscraper” Struve.
