UFC Betting Odds - Davis To Replace Ortiz At UFC: Fight Night Seattle
President Dana White has announced key change to the UFC betting main event. The Huntington Beach Bad Boy Tito Ortiz has been replaced in the Light Heavyweight bout against Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, a move that was pushed after Ortiz suffered a major injury during training.
According to online sports UFC betting reports, Ortiz suffered a severe gash to his forehead during training, and did not feel the wound would heel significantly before the fight. Ortiz revealed through his Twitter field that the injury was the result of a headbut, and needed 22 stitches just to close. In addition, there was concern that he had also suffered a concussion due to the blow. The obvious risk of that cut opening during the main event of the Seattle card would be a major hindrance to his ability in the bout, leaving White no other choice but to find another opponent for Nogueira. The injury is another sore spot on a career that has taken a major downward spiral in recent years, as one of the biggest names of the sport has become almost irrelevant. The 36-year old has really struggled with injuries, and has fought just twice since 2008, losing both of those contests. Ortiz is 0-4-1 since December of 2006, and at his age it could be a long time before he gets back in the win column, with some wondering whether he can ever perform at the highest level again.
It didn't take long before the UFC president anointed Davis as the fighter best prepared to take the spot, and put his undefeated pay per head streak on the line. An experienced fighter that is versed in both wrestling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Davis factors in as the perfect replacement. There has been lots of hype about the 26-year old former NCAA Division I wrestler since he broke in to the promotion on the heels of four straight wins to open his career outside of the UFC, and that number has now climbed to eight since his arrival. Of his four fights in the UFC, two have been clinched via submission while the other two went to judge's decision. His latest, a second-round submission win via a modified Kimura over Tim Boetsch ranks among the most impressive, but he will still have to prove his self at the highest level. UFC Odds
Nogueira has not been in the octagon since September, when he lost to Ryan Bader via unanimous decision, a defeat that ended his seven-fight win streak. Now, he will need to prepare for a completely different type of sports betting bonus opponent, one that is much younger and much faster than Ortiz. Although the name isn't there yet, this move will make for a much more exciting fight, and one that will have fans excited for UFC Fight Night: Seattle next month.

What is the best size for a heavyweight ?
I am 18, I have had my first 5 amateur MMA fights. I am 5-0 and i have won 1 by submission and 4 by TKO all in round 1. I am known for my speed and beating my opponent to the punch and i submitted some 1 with a arm bar.
I am 6 feet 1 and weigh 228 pounds. I wan't to be in the UFC 1 day
I train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Muay Thai, Boxing and MMA, I am a purple belt in BJJ, and a black belt in Judo and Taekwondo. I won a gold medal in the under 15 New Zealand Judo when i was 13
Should i gain weight to 240 ?
or stay at 228 ?
Cain Velasquez is 240 and he is still fast and has good cardio and doesn't look 240
(He destroyed brock lesnar)
Is 228 too small to go toe 2 toe with a 265 opponent, or should i gain too 240 ?
If i gain weight to 240 to build strength can i still keep my mobility, speed and cardio ?
no, 228 isnt too small to fight and defeat a 265er...its all about heart, mental strength, will, determination to win and technique. size doesnt matter hardly at all.
however gaining weight may help slightly or hurt you slightly in a fight. but size and weight are pretty miniscule...you can either fight well or you cant.
being 228 and to go to 240 shouldnt hurt your mobility, speed or cardio much at all if you do it correctly. by eating the right foods, not too much fat, doing a lot of cardio and conditioning in the process of the gain as well as a lot of strength training.
overall i think you should go for it, but do it right and youll gain the strength and keep the mobility and youll be fine. its only 12 pounds, no big deal.
