 UFC
71 Results Have MMA Bettors Hungry for More
Enormous payouts were
on tap once again Saturday night as more big
underdogs came out on top. The UFC 71 results
featured two big upsets including
Chuck
Liddell, who was destroyed by Quinton Jackson
and perhaps one of the biggest upsets in sports all
year,
Houston
Alexander defeating the -550 favorite Keith Jardine.
These UFC 71
results were just what underdog bettors had in mind
who followed recent Ultimate Fighting Championship
events that featured major upsets and huge payouts
for gamblers.
While Jackson's win
only paid out 2 to 1 odds or $200 for every $100 bet
at
Betmaker (see website here),
Alexander paid out an amazing 4 to 1 odds. For
every $100 bet, $400 was paid out to those lucky
enough to have been on Alexander.
Earlier on Saturday
Sports911.com suggested savvy sports bettors should
not just focus on the Chuck Liddell fight.
Mark Vester of
BoxingScene.com:
"There was no
revenge at UFC 71, as Quinton "Rampage'' Jackson
(27-6) landed a right hook that put Chuck "The
Iceman" Liddell (20-4) to sleep, and wins the UFC
light heavyweight title.
"It came in the very first round as Liddell went for
a punch to the body and Jackson countered with a
right hand that put Liddell on his back. Jackson
quickly jumped on him with punches as ref John
McCarthy stopped the fight when Liddell's body went
limp at 1:53 of the first round."
Jackson now holds two wins over Liddell, the first
coming at a Pride event in 2003.
-300 favorite Karo
Parisyan beat Josh Burkman by a unanimous decision.
Small underdog
Terry Martin stopped Ivan Salaverry in the first
round.
+255 underdog Kalib
Starnes won a unanimous decision over Chris Leben.
Din Thomas took out
Jeremy Stephens in the second round with an armbar.
Wilson Gouveia
chocked out Carmelo Marrero with a guillotine in the
first round.
Already,
Betmaker
(see website here)
is offering betting odds on both UFC 72 and UFC 73.
