UFC 83 Results: Underdogs Pay Out Big Early

UFC 83 results showed early that perhaps a trend is starting once again where big underdogs provide some rather hefty payouts.  We witnessed this early on with two bouts.

First, Jonathan Goulet defeated Kuniyoshi Hironaka by TKO in the 2nd round.  While Goulet was not a huge underdog compared to some of the UFC 83 fighters, he did pay just under $200 for every $100 bet at Sportsbook.com nonetheless. 

The first real big payout came when Jason Day defeated Alan Belcher as the +300 underdog, paying out $300 for every $100 bet. 

TSN.ca called this one:

1st Round: Day is fighting out of Lethbridge, Alberta. Day rarely fights past the first round, so he'll likely be looking to end it early. Belcher is wearing green and white trucks made out of European soccer pennants. Belcher gets the advantage with the rakedown, but Day feeds elbow stikes to Belcher's head from the bottom position. To there feet, and Day unloads straight elbows and fists to Belcher's head. The American is not able to strike back, and the referee ends the fight. Day is the winner by TKO and in impressive fashion at 3:58 of the 1st round. The Lethbridge fighter works the crowd up into a frenzy.

Mark Bocek would pay out $400 for every $100 bet and he nearly did.  Bocek won the crowd with his heroics, making it through the third round bloodied and battered with a swollen eye.  But it was Mac Danzig who ultimately won this fight. 

The referee rules Bisping the winner by TKO during the first round.  Bisping was a pretty hefty favorite coming into this one. 

Nate Quarry goes all the way as the favorite and defeats Canadian Kalib Starnes, who the home town crowd booed. 

Elsewhere, Cain Velasquez defeated Brad Morris.  Sam Stout lost a split decision to Rich Clementi.  Demian Maia beat Ed Herman.  Jason MacDonald by TKO against Joe Doerksen.

Rich Franklin wins against Travis Lutter.

Georges St-Pierre wins the belt!
