| Vitor Belfort vs. Anthony Johnson Preview |
For all of your MMA betting odds and options, go to online sportsbook Bet Phoenix. When middleweight Vitor Belfort steps into the Octagon in a little over a week to face Anthony Johnson at UFC 142: Aldo vs. Mendes he will do so with more on his mind than a win bonus or increasing his rank on the contendership ladder. Rather, Belfort’s bout in Brazil is the fulfillment of a longtime goal; the culmination of working hard for fifteen hard years to see MMA grow to the level it’s currently at. This is a very interesting matchup.The slight advantage in striking goes to Belfort. Both fighters have landed a similar number of strikes and are equally heavy-handed. Belfort has scored 15.0 knockdowns + knockouts per hour and Rumble Johnson 12.7 (those are BIG numbers). But Belfort gets the slight advantage for doing a much better job limiting the % of strikes landed by opponents (19% for Belfort versus 30% for Johnson). The slight advantage in grappling goes to Johnson for being more effective and efficient taking opponents down. Other factors: Belfort has faced a bit more difficult level of competition (advantage Belfort). Johnson will have a 4″ reach advantage (which is significant, advantage Johnson). Belfort is a southpaw and Johnson orthodox (advantage Belfort). And Johnson is stepping up to middleweight from welterweight (advantage unknown). Putting it all together, the math gives Belfort a small edge to win (55%). However anything can happen in this sport and that is why they put odds on this fight and all of the other great action on tap for this weekend!
