Anderson Silva vs. Yushin Okami: UFC 134 Middleweight Championship

Gather around, fight fans, as UFC 134: Rio is almost upon us.

Featured in this spectacular card is a title rematch between Anderson Silva and Yushin Okami, another rematch between Forrest Griffin and Mauricio “Shogun” Rua, and a generational battle between MMA legend Antonio Rodrigo “Minotauro” Nogueira and rising superstar Brendan Schaub.

UFC and parlays go hand in hand. When it comes to betting on MMA the chalk on the favorites can often leave you with a bad taste in your mouth, so you have to get creative. Instead of going for the knockout punch, the smart money is on a carefully constructed take down of your book. This is where the UFC parlay comes in.

Not only do you need a good strategy for the parlay, such as the UFC 134 parlay provided, but you also need to make sure you choose the book well. Given the relatively new nature of UFC to sports betting not all the books hang lines on all the events. So careful consideration must be given to the battle ground as well as the method of attack.

The full fight card for the UFC's return to Brazil has been finalized today, according to MMAJunkie.com.
