UFC 96 fights odds: Jackson vs. Jardine, full card odds

Another round of UFC fights will begin on Saturday with the 96th installment featuring the bout Quinton Jackson vs. Keith Jardine and here you will find the best odds on the fights, as posted by the online sportsbooks. Naturally, we will start the UFC 96 betting odds preview with the main fight - Jackson vs. Jardine. Quinton Jackson, his last UFC fight victorious in late 2008 against Wanderlei Silva via knock out in the first round, is the favorite to win the main UFC 96 fight on Saturday. He will face the lesser-known Keith Jardine (14-5-1), who was last seen in October 2008 winning against Brandon Vera in a split decision. The odds on the Jackson vs. Jardine fight at the online sportsbook Bookmaker are currently favoring Jackson at -320, while Jardine is a long-shot underdog with betting odds +260 to win the UFC 96 fight. Keep in mind that in May of last year Keith Jardine lost against Wanderlei Silva via knock out in the openning seconds of the first round, although he did bank a victory the year before against Chuck Liddell via split decision. As the offshore sports betting odds have already shown, the bets on this UFC 96 fight are no brainer.
