UFC president Dana White couldn’t be more pumped about this Saturday’s “UFC 135: Jones vs. Rampage” event. However, if you heed the words of the Gambling Gods, there’s no point in dropping $44.95 on the pay-per-view broadcast because the card’s two featured bouts won’t even be close.
UFC light heavyweight champ Jon Jones and welterweight Josh Koschek are both astronomical 6-to-1 favorites to leave Denver victorious.
Jones puts his 205-pound crown on the line against Quinton “Rampage” Jackson in the night’s main event, while Kos meets Matt Hughes in the co-featured attraction.
Rampage and Hughes each check in as 4-to-1 long shots.
The Pepsi Center in Colorado will host this weekend’s show.
