Strikeforce Odds
Strikeforce returns to television this Saturday with Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Werdum from the HP Pavillion in San Jose, California.
Saturday’s main card, which will air on Showtime live at 10PM ET features four fights. Here is a look at the key bouts on the card.
Bet Fedor vs. Werdum
Fedor vs. Werdum
The main event of Saturday’s card is a heavyweight contest between Fedor Emelianenko (31-1) and Fabricio Werdum (13-4-1). Fedor is the overwhelming favorite to win the fight with a betting line of -750 while Werdum is at +525. Emelianenko has virtually never lost a fight as his one defeat was from a cut. In this bout Fedor will have a big advantage on his feet with Werdum hoping he can land a takedown and score a submission. This is nothing new to Fedor, who should be able to dispose of Werdum without much difficulty.
Strikeforce Women’s Featherweight Championship
In the co-main event, Strikeforce women’s featherweight champion Cris “Cyborg” Santos (9-1) takes on No. 1 contender Jan Finney (8-7). Santos is the favorite with a line of -1700 while Finney comes in at +825. Santos is considered the most dominant fighter of a weight class in any division, men’s or women’s. She has easily disposed of her competition and while Finney is a gamer, she is no where near the talent level and power of Santos. Look for the champion to defend her title in dominant fashion.
