The marquee event of UFC 114 has Rampage Jackson going up against Suga Rashad Evans in a tight matchup. Evans was a mere -120 favorite while Jackson's odds were at -110 at Sportsbetting.com (see website here).
Sportsbetting.com analysts write of this matchup:
"When I look at Rashad, I see the strength of his offensive wrestling. How he uses the standard leg takedowns effectively. I loved how he charged in on Thiago Silva and got takedown after takedown. I think Rampage's wrestling is great as well, but he uses it to keep the fight on the feet and pulls out the occasional, but devastating, slam. I think if Rashad goes to Rampage like he did against Thiago then Rampage may have his hands full.
"On the feet, most are giving the skill advantage to Rampage because of his technical prowess. I don't mind Rashad's lunging punches, especially when he follows up with a single or double leg takedown and ends up on top in control position. His standup is improving enough that I think it will make Rampage weary enough to stay standing in the pocket and will get him on the move. This is a great set up for Rashad to charge in for the takedown. Rampage can stuff a lot of guys and keep the fight up, but I've liked what I've seen from Rashad, minus the Machida fight.
"Rampage is a lot of things. A champion as well. Rashad was too. This one we'll determine which former champ gets the next shot at the current light heavyweight title holder Shogun Rua."
