UFC 86
Jackson vs. Griffin is an upcoming mixed martial arts event to be held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship
(UFC)
July 5, 2008, at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. |
With an anticipated Rampage fight, UFC 86 will have lots of exciting betting action. The main event includes Quinton Jackson aka“Rampage” vs Forrest Griffin. It will be great to bet on how well Rampage does after making history as the first
to hold both Pride and UFC light heavyweight belts.
At UFC 71, on May 26, 2007, Jackson faced UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell in a title rematch of their 2003
PRIDE bout. Approximately 90 seconds into the first round, Jackson caught Liddell with a right hook to the jaw that
sent him down to the mat, whereupon Jackson pummeled him for a referee stoppage at 1:53 seconds to capture the UFC light
heavyweight championship.
Jackson then defeated PRIDE Middleweight Champion Dan Henderson at UFC 75,on September 8, 2007 in London, England,
via unanimous decision to unify the two organizations' titles.
As for Forrest Griffin, He is the first-season winner of Spike TV's The Ultimate Fighter, a reality show which showcases
mixed martial arts. He defeated Stephan Bonnar in a popular final bout, widely acclaimed as one of the best MMA fights
of all time, winning by unanimous decision and landing him a professional contract to fight in the UFC
Forrest Griffin, currently holds a professional mixed martial arts record of fifteen wins (3 by KO/TKO, 7 by submission
and 5 by decision) and four losses (2 by KO/TKO and 2 by decision).
The Former heavyweight champion Frank Mir (11-3) will tangle with Justin McCully (8-3-2)
at UFC 86 on July 5 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Frank Mir is fresh of a big submission win over Brock Lesnar at UFC 81: “Breaking Point” in February. This
marks Mir’s second consecutive win (other win against Antoni Hardonk at UFC 74: “Respect”). Last time Mir lost was
at UFC 65: “Bad Intentions” to Brandon Vera via TKO(Strikes) in November 2006.
McCully will be coming off a year-long layoff after defeating Antoni Hardonk via unanimous decision at UFC
Fight Night 9 back in April 2007.
Joe “Daddy” Stevenson will take on Gleison Tibau at UFC 86, July 5 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Stevenson is coming
off a hard fought loss for the UFC lightweight title to the “Prodigy” BJ Penn at UFC 80.
Joe Stevenson (28-8) will look to get back in the 155-pound title hunt when he takes on Gleison Tibau (15-5)
at UFC 86 on July 5 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Joe Stevenson is coming off a very rough submission loss to arguably the top mixed martial artist in the game, that
being BJ Penn. Tibau is coming off a loss as well but to top lightweight Tyson Griffin at UFC 81. It will be
interesting to see how both react to tough losses.
