Over the last two months, UFC 116 and 117 have set the bar quite high for UFC 118. However, with two marquee matchups as co-main events UFC betting fans are getting very excited for UFC 118. Here is a preview of the best card for new UFC betting handicappers to wager on.

UFC 118 takes place on Saturday August 28 at the TD Garden Center in Boston, MA. The card is highlighted by the semi main event of Randy Couture v. James Toney and the main event of BJ Penn v. Frankie Edgar II. Here is a breakdown of each fight as well as a few undercard matches to keep your eye on.

Penn v. Edgar II

When BJ Penn returned to the UFC Octagon in 2008, his sights were instantly set on the Lightweight Championship and then champion Sean Shrek. By May of 2008, Penn would become Lightweight Champion and hold the title for 23 months before dropping the title in April 2010 to current champion Frankie Edgar.

The first encounter did not end in Penn’s favor as Edgar was able to swiftly defeat him in a five round unanimous decision. Going into that fight, Penn was an overwhelming favorite to dismantle the lesser known Edgar. However, when Edgar defeated Penn, it was speculated by many that Penn’s less than stellar performance was due to a sinus infection. In the rematch, look for Penn to come out flying as he looks to regain his title and make Edgar’s reign one of the shortest in UFC history.

Randy Couture v. James Toney

In this semi main event battle, UFC and Boxing fans will clash as legendary octagon fighter Randy Couture takes on legendary boxer James Toney. Toney has one of the most impressive records in boxing history, and now will look to add Couture to his list of victims. Couture on the other hand is coming off promoting his new movie the Expendables and many wonder how he will fare with the “Too Tough” Toney.
