Exciting info on how you can easier make money Live In-Fight MMA Betting:
BetDSI.com is the only sportsbook that offers real In-Fight Betting, which means you don’t have to wait for the round to end to get the odds and place your bet. You can place bets while the fight is going on, so if you see that Nate can’t figure Story out and is getting pummeled by his striking then bet on him, but I don’t see that happening, here’s why:
When you see a striker/wrestler like Story pitted against a BJJ AND Jujutsu Black Belt in Marquardt you may be deceived into thinking this is a classic striker vs submission artist. Buzzzz! Wrong! That’s not the case. Now this is where things get exciting. Nate Marquardt IS a great striker and an all around fighter. Do you know why his leg kicks, super-man punches and knees look similar to the style of GSP? BECAUSE HE TRAINS WITH HIM! They both train with Greg Jackson over at Jackson’s Submission Fighting and MMA training camp in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Summing up the above, don’t count out Marquardt’s striking game. Admittedly, it’s hard not to say Story isn’t the better boxer in this matchup. He is not afraid to stand up because he moves around well, is quick and is great at counter striking. If for whatever reason he is getting the worse out of a boxing exchange in that moment he reverts back to his college wrestling roots and goes for the takedown to ground and pound game plan. That game plan works solid for Rick because now he is now 10-3-0, is on a SIX WIN streak AND just scored a huge victory over the bigger stronger Thiago Alves. That is why he is the betting favorite coming into this match; look at the UFC Betting Odds courtesy of BetDSI Sportsbook:
Rick Story PK -135
Nate Marquardt PK +105
Rick’s plan should be to try to KO Marquardt in the first round, keep on his feet most of the time but score points with take downs. It wouldn’t be smart on his part to mount Marquardt in any way that’s not a full mount, unless Marquardt is really injured.
Due to the high level of competition, and sometimes ego, at times fighters overdue their workouts and sparring when preparing for a fight and get injured. Anthony Johnson was supposed to fight Nate Marquardt this Sunday, June 26th but had to pull out due to a rotator cuff injury. But the UFC match makers did an excellent job of filling in the gap by pitting Rick “The Horror” Story vs Nate “The Great” Marquardt. This match is just as good if not better than a Story vs Johnson match, and I think now that I have given you a preview of what’s to come you can agree with me.
