UFC 125 Resolution is tomorrow, January 1st and has an impressive looking card. Frankly, we don’t want to call a lot of the preliminary fights, so we’ll be concentrating our UFC 125 betting picks on the main card.

UFC 125 BETTING PICKS AND PREDICTIONS

Frankie Edgar 13-1 vs. Gray Maynard 11-0 – Money has continued to flow in on the undefeated Maynard since UFC odds makers set the betting lines for the main event bout at UFC 125. Frankie has used his quick hands to upset BJ Penn twice since losing to Maynard, but Gray is a bull-dogish type guy that should use his 2-inch height advantage to maximum effect in this bout. At +125 with BetOnline, and with more experience under his belt, Frankie is a tough to guy to bet against, though.

But that’s exactly what we’re going to do. Maynard has beaten Edgar once before and we think he can do it again. Best odds are -142 at SportBet – Click To bet Now

Chris Leben 21-6 vs. Brian Stann 9-3 – The 5’ 11” Chris Leben is a -155 fave at BetOnline to dominate the taller Brian Stann on New Year’s Day. Both of these guys have a lot of power but Stann’s chin may not be able to stand up to Leben’s fists while Leben’s chin no doubt will stand up to Stann’s fists. We pick Leben to win this one convincingly.

Brandon Vera 11-5 vs. Thiago Silva 14-2 – Both Vera and Silva are excellent strikers, meaning that their battle on Saturday night should be a great one for fans to watch. Silva is the -137 favorite with SportBet, but most fight fans agree that Vera definitely has an puncher’s chance (+130 at BetUS UFC sportsbook) to take down Silva. This could be the fight of the night. We like Vera to win this one.

Nate Diaz 13-5 vs. Dong Huyn Kim 13-0-1 – Diaz could have the upper hand in this fight if it goes to the ground, but Kim is undefeated for a reason. So far, UFC betting fans are all over Kim at -117 with SportBet to Diaz’s +105 odds with BetOnline. This should be a very good battle with both guys throwing down hardcore. It’s going to be close, and a lot of bettors are backing Kim, but we think Diaz will edge it. Our pick is Nate Diaz.

Clay Guida 13-8 vs. Takanori Gomi 32-6 – Guida is one of the most respected fighters at UFC. That’s the real reason why he’s a -150 favorite at BetUS sportsbook to beat Takanori Gomi. Guida trains with some of the best in the world. He should make quick work of Gomi who, although a good wrestler, prefers to stand up and strike, playing right into the aggressive Guida’s hands.
