| Strikeforce: Melendez vs. Masvidal Preview |
The odds for this fight and all of the other great Strikeforce events can be found at the top rated online sportsbook for betting on fights, Bet Phoenix. Jorge Masvidal‘s MMA career has taken him to Russia, Japan, Costa Rica, and the Playboy Mansion — not bad for a guy who got his start in bare-knuckle fights in his native Miami. Now riding back-to-back victories over Billy Evangelista and KJ Noons under the Strikeforce banner, Masvidal has been honored with a lightweight title shot against Gilbert Melendez at the promotion’s upcoming card on December 17th in San Diego. Melendez (19-2) hasn't seen the inside of a cage since a successful title defense against Japanese "Crusher," Tatsuya Kawajiri, back in April. That win marked "El Nino's" fifth in a row and shot him into the top five of the divisional rankings. It should come as no surprise then, to learn he's a -360 favorite against Masvidal. After coming up short in a unanimous decision loss to Paul "Semtex" Daley under the Shark Fights banner, "Gamebred" (22-6) made a successful Strikeforce debut opposite Billy Evangelista back in March, punching his way to a sweep on the judges' scorecards despite a less-than-enthusiastic response from the Columbus crowd. This card also features some other great events on the card. Women’s middleweight champ Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos defends her crown against Hiroko Yamanaka in the night’s co-featured contest, while lightweight champion Gilbert Melendez puts his belt up for grabs when he faces Jorge Masvidal in the main event. Former Strikeforce light heavyweight champion Gegard Mousasi will also battle Ovince St. Preux. If you are a fight fan and like to bet on Strikeforce and other great fights, stop by Bet Phoenix and sign up today to bet on this great main event this weekend.
