Cain Velasquez Vs Minotauro Nogueira, We’ll make some UFC 110 predictions on the main event between Cain Velasquez and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira.
The winner of tonight’s fight between Cain Velasquez and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira may very well be the next in line to challenge Brock Lesnar for the heavyweight title, and we’ll do our best to make winning UFC 110 predictions in this exciting main event brawl.
Before we make our UFC 110 predictions, the first thing we need to bring up is a rumor that has been floating around the internet the last few hours or so. Word “on the street” is that Cain Velasquez is taking this fight against Nogueira despite the fact that he has some sort of neck injury that is causing him pain. Regardless, it appears that Velasquez feels that he is capable of fighting through the supposed injury in an effort to move himself into the upper echelon of UFC heavyweights.
BoDog Sportsbook has the UFC 110 odds ready to go and it’s Nogueira who is currently a tiny favorite over Cain Velasquez. This line has fluctuated quite a bit with line movements both ways, but it appears that “Big Nog” will enter the UFC 110 main event as the favorite on the betting odds unless something drastic happens in the next few hours.
Velasquez is another talented Arizona State wrestler who has made the crossover into mixed martial arts. He simply smothers people on the ground and his endless cardio has made him one of the premier contenders in the UFC heavyweight division. Velasquez has some issues to work out in his standup, but his endless punches keep his opponents backing up.
Nogueira is the former Pride and UFC heavyweight champion, and it’s never wise to count out experienced and accomplished veterans in your predictions. The Brazilian is a ground master and has 20 submission victories to his credit. Nogueira also has solid striking that combines some power with his ability to take strikes.
The UFC 110 betting predictions in the main event have to be to play the odds on Nogueira. The injury concerns us, as does Velasquez’s step up in competition. “Big Nog” is healthy, has the experience, and knows how to counter Velasquez’s best weapon (wrestling).

JAIPUR: India Vs South Africa 1st ODI today, After an exciting end to the Test series, India and South Africa will lock horns in the three-match ODI series starting on Sunday at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.
India have been inconsistent in the shorter format of the game. India are placed second in the ODI table but are way behind champions Australia and have the third placed Proteas breathing down their necks.
South Africa can take the second spot if they win the series by a margin of 2-1 or better.
At the Sawai Man Singh Stadium here, both the teams will have their own share of problems.
Harbhajan Singh will skip the first two games for his sister’s wedding while pace spearhead Zaheer Khan has been ruled out of the series due to injury. Yuvraj Singh and Gautam Gambhir are also absent with wrist and groin injuries.
But the return of Sachin Tendulkar, who opted out of the tri-series in Bangladesh, has brought back some smiles in the Indian team. Tendulkar is in great touch and has scored four consecutive Test tons.
South Africa will miss their captain Graeme Smith due to a finger fracture and veteran Jacques Kallis will lead the side. But wicketkeeper Mark Boucher is set for a return after sitting out of the Kolkata Test with a back spasm.
Kallis, however, will be banking on the presence of ODI specialists like Herschelle Gibbs, Albie Morkel, Roelof van der Merwe and Charl Langeveldt. The last minute inclusion of Hashim Amla, who was in great touch in the Test series, as a replacement for Smith will bolster the team’s middle order.
South African fast bowler Dale Steyn, hero of their innings win in Nagpur, will be India’s biggest concern but it will be due factor that will also play on skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s mind.

NBA Player of The Decade, The NBA Player of the Decade has just been announced on Inside the NBA. Voting has been taking place for the NBA Player of the Decade on NBA.com, and the winner was perhaps no surprise to anybody as it was a fan vote – Kobe Bryant.
Kobe Bryant was the man that fans voted the best player of the decade by the fans on NBA.com, with Lebron James voted second. Shaquille O’Neal was given the third prize, which made some commentators react with amusement – as Shaq was almost universally known as the most dominant player of the ten year period.
Top 6 Players of the Decade (in order)
Kobe Bryant
Lebron James
Shaquille O’Neal
Tim Duncan
Steve Nash
Kevin Garnett
Charles Barkley was outspoken in his defence of O’Neal – ‘That just really shows you fans don’t know anything’.
Kenny Smith added ‘From the middle of the decade to the end’ Kobe probably was the best player, but he agreed with Barkley that Shaq was the player of the decade.
Bryant won four championships during the decade, in 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2009.
The announcement came after the NBA All-Star game from Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. It set a world record for the number of people watching a basketball game, with 108, 713 people in the stadium watching the event.
Even though Kobe Bryant was voted the best player, who was your NBA Player of the Decade?

NBA All Star Game Halftime Show: Western vs Eastern Live Stream and Final Scores – Dallas native Chris Bosh had 10 points and eight rebounds to help push the East to a 76-69 halftime lead over the West in the NBA All-Star game being played before the largest basketball crowd ever Sunday night.
There was a much different atmosphere for the second NBA All-Star game played in the Dallas area. The other was played only weeks before Bosh’s second birthday.
In 1986, a crowd of 16,573 filled Reunion Arena, the downtown Dallas venue that was demolished last year.
Just finished watching the halftime show of the NBA All-Star game, featuring Shakira and Alicia Keys and came away similarly impressed. Shakira had the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders excited and even taking pictures with digital cameras.
The NBA All-Star game is underway and the half-time final score sees the Eastern Conference All-Stars lead the Western Conference All-Stars 76-69 at halftime at massive Cowboys Stadium.
When Bryant declared himself out of the game, Nowitzki was installed as the starter and Mavericks guard Jason Kidd was added to the roster.
New Orleans point guard Chris Paul was unable to play while recovering from surgery to repair a meniscus tear in his left knee, and he used a single crutch for support when he was introduced during pregame introductions. He has already missed seven games for the Hornets and is expected to be out another three to five weeks.
Derrick Rose didn’t participate in the Saturday night festivities, passing up a chance to defend his Skills Challenge title, because of a bruised right hip sustained in Chicago’s last game Wednesday night when he got knocked to the floor by Howard on a driving layup.
Shen And Zhao Wedding, The Chinese married couple broke their own world record with a mesmerizing performance to open pairs competition at the Winter Olympics on Sunday, and it took until the very last pair – about three hours later – for anyone to come close to topping it. With a score of 76.66, the pair lead two-time world champions Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy of Germany by just .70 points.
That’s nothing going into Monday night’s free skate, a margin that can be made up with one flourish of a hand.
“It was a gift for Valentine’s Day, and today was just the short program,” Zhao said. “Hopefully, tomorrow will be as good as today.”
Russia’s Yuko Kavaguti and Alexander Smirnov are in third, giving them a chance to continue what has to be one of the longest winning streaks in sports. A Russian or Soviet pair has won the gold medal at every Olympics dating back to 1964.
Amanda Evora and Mark Ladwig, surprise silver medalists at last month’s U.S. championships, are 10th after the performance of their career at their first major international event. U.S. champions Caydee Denney and Jeremy Barrett were 14th.
Shen and Zhao retired after winning their third world title in 2007. But the couple, winners of the bronze medal at the last two Winter Games, couldn’t resist one last run at that all-elusive Olympic gold. They have dominated everywhere they’ve skated this season, and they set the tone with a program from the heart, not just the feet.
At 31 and 36, Shen and Zhao are senior citizens when it comes to pairs skaters, but they still showed the kids how it ought to be done.
India Vs South Africa Scorecard, Cricket Score Live Update, KOLKATA : Virender Sehwag smashed an unbeaten 52 off 45 balls as India raced to 97-2 at lunch on the second day of the second and final Test against South Africa on Monday.
Sehwag, 31, hit eight fours and a six on his way to his 22nd Test half-century after Zaheer Khan (4-90) picked up the last South African wicket to bowl out the tourists for 296 in their first innings.
Sachin Tendulkar was unbeaten on nine as India trailed South Africa by 199 runs at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
India, who lost the first Test in Nagpur by an innings and six runs, need a win to square the series and retain their number one position in the official Test rankings.
The belligerent Sehwag smashed fast bowler Dale Steyn (0-29) for three fours in a row, before dishing out a similar treatment to Morne Morkel (1-35).
Wayne Parnell was not spared either, Sehwag driving the paceman to the covers for a four and following it up with a hoisted six to the third-man boundary.
Parnell had so far conceded 30 runs off his four wicketless overs.
South Africa had a chance to dismiss Sehwag on 47 but Jean-Paul Duminy grassed a simple chance off Morkel at first slip.
Gautam Gambhir looked set for a long innings but was run out as he went for a sharp second run on Sehwag’s call. He hit three fours in his 38-ball 25 and shared 73 runs for the opening wicket with Sehwag.
Murali Vijay (seven) edged Morkel behind the wicket where AB de Villiers, keeping wicket in the absence of the injured Mark Boucher, took a fine catch diving to his right.
Zaheer brought an end to the South African innings when he trapped Parnell leg before wicket for 12 in the fourth over of the day after the visitors resumed at the overnight 266-9.
India’s Gautam Gambhir retained top spot while South Africa’s Jacques Kallis and Hashim Amla have made a big impression ICC Player Rankings for Test batsmen. Gambhir despite scoring just 13 runs in the match but the gap has narrowed significantly with now just 17 ratings points separating first position from fifth.
Kallis, who scored his 34th Test century during the match, has returned to the top five by gaining four places to sit in fourth position. He is now just ahead of his captain Graeme Smith, who slips three places, and not far behind the Sri Lanka pair of Mahela Jayawardena in second position and Kumar Sangakkara in third.
Amla has broken into the top 10 in the rankings for the first time in his career following his magnificent 253 not out in the first innings, which help to set up South Africa’s victory in the first Test at Nagpur by an innings and six runs. He is now just three ratings points behind Sachin Tendulkar, who was also successful with the bat during the match as he notched up his record 46th Test century in the second innings.
