There is a heavyweight fight rumored for this summer, and it is a big one. Based on MMAjunkie.com, former Strikeforce heavyweight champion Alistair Overeem is expected to come back to the cage at UFC 164, which takes place August 31 at Bradley Center in Milwaukee, WI. And his rumored competition is none other than heavyweight banger Travis Browne, although this struggle is still far from official. If it does materialize, though, expect this to be the co-main event for UFC 164 because it is unquestionably among the greatest battles of this summertime. Overeem, who had been pumped out by Antonio”Bigfoot” Silva in UFC 156, was set to return to actions against Junior dos Santos in UFC 160 but had to pull out because of injuries, but now healthy, he will look to get back into title contention by taking out the rising Browne, that also has a recent reduction to Silva. This is a fairly even matchup but I really do favor Browne to win the fight, and I think he could win it . However, Overeem has all of the hype and people support behind him and, even though he lost to”Bigfoot,” I still expect him to start as the favorite in this struggle, possibly in the -200 range, with all the comeback on Browne becoming +150. And if that’s the case, then I will definitely be recommending a drama on Browne, who is coming from a KO win over veteran Gabriel Gonzaga. Another wager to goal for this battle is going to be that it doesn’t go to conclusion, as either man has the capability to knock one another out, so definitely consider creating a play on that prop if it’s under -300 come fight night. Lauzon vs. Johnson Booked For UFC on FOX Sports 1 The UFC today booked a lightweight bout between Massachusetts native Joe Lauzon and Michael Johnson for the upcoming UFC on FOX Sports 1 1 card, which takes place August 17 in Boston, MA. The battle will probably be a preliminary card bout. This is an excellent battle between two of the exciting fighters in the UFC lightweight branch so kudos to UFC matchmaker Joe Silva for booking it. For Lauzon, it’s a chance to redeem himself after losing to Jim Miller in a war in UFC 155, while Johnson wants to bounce back big time after suffering back-to-back beats to Myles Jury and Reza Madadi. This is a competitive struggle if it remains standing but if it hits the ground then Lauzon, who is a BJJ ace, will have a massive edge over Johnson, who has a very poor ground game. Therefore, I expect Lauzon to open at around -230 or with the opening comeback on Johnson being around +170, although things may easily change if the public decides they like Johnson to win. As for me, I believe that this is a really good matchup for Lauzon therefore I’d call him to triumph and I definitely will be targeting him for a bet this summer, as well as targeting the Lauzon via submission prop.
