Ellenberger has only one loss in his last 10 fights, suffering a split-decision defeat to current interim champ Condit. Now he gets a chance to put himself into a potential title shot with an impressive win over Sanchez. Oddsmakers at Bovada Sportsbook have the same opinion and currently have him handicapped as the -350 favorite. MMA betting action has driven that price up from its initial line of -265.
Sanchez has been out of action with a hand injury since his win over Martin Kampmann last March. Octagon rust could come into play, so oddsmakers at Bovada Sportsbook are willing to pay +250 on a Sanchez upset. They were only offering +205 when the lines were first posted, but more MMA bettors have been opting for Ellenberger and driving the payout up.
Sanchez has made big changes in his life outside the Octagon and is more focused on his fighting career than he’s been for years. Ellenberger could be in for a surprise if Sanchez is able to take his best shots and keep coming. For that reason any prop action on this one going the distance will be tempting if the price is decent. This fight will likely come down to how well Sanchez can stand up to the power that a big.
Welterweight like Ellenberger will bring.
