According to mixed martial arts odds in the Bodog Sportsbook, WEC champion Carlos Condit (21-4-0) is the -525 favorite to beat Carlo Prater (21-5-1) at World Extreme Cagefighting 32, Wednesday Feb. 13 in Albuquerque, N.M.
Prater defeated Condit by triangle choke in 2004 and has gone 8-4 since, recently avenging two losses to Keith Wisniewswki (22-12-1). Unbeaten in 6-fights, Condit comes into the championship match on an impressive winning streak, with submission wins over Brock Larson (22-2-0) and John Alessio (21-10-0).
Despite the earlier loss to Prater, the WEC champ says the rematch isn't about revenge. "That’s not really on my mind all that much," he tells MMAweekly.com, "because I know how far I’ve come and how much I’ve improved, it’s just a chance to show that, a chance to show exactly how far I’ve come."
"I’m not going to sit here and lie to you guys and tell you that I don’t feel pressure going into this fight. This is huge," he says. "This is in front of my friends and my family, but I’ve taken that energy or any kind of pressure I’ve felt and really just put that towards training, put that towards preparing for this fight."
In a battle between two UFC veterans, WEC lightweight champion "Razor" Rob McCollough (15-3-0) is the -135 favorite to beat Jamie Varner (13-2-1).
Other favorites to win include Leonard Garcia (14-3-0) and Canadian fighter Mark Hominick (15-7-0).
