Once again the so-called experts are saying that undefeated Light Heavyweight Champion Rashad Evans is going to lose his next fight. (MMA Weekly Images)

They said it before he won the Ultimate Fighter against a bunch of heavyweights. They said it before he destroyed Chuck Liddell. They even said it before he dominated Forrest Griffin to win his title. And now they’re saying it as he prepares to defend his title against the also undefeated Lyoto Machida. The champion is coming in as the +170 underdog while the challenger Machida is the favorite at -210.

Machida has not lost a single round on any judge’s card in his entire UFC career, and his karate techniques have kept all his opponents at bay. But the challenger has never faced a fighter as fast as Evans. And if the champion can close the gap, his wrestling skills could easily control Machida for a victory. Bodog has your UFC 98 odds. Get them before the big fight!
