Elite XC MMA odds are now available for the second fight between middleweights Robbie Lawler and Scott Smith. The “Unfinished Business” Elite XC event will be on Saturday July 26th at the Stockton Arena in California and will be televised on CBS at 10pm EST. The Elite XC odds for the first fight between “Ruthless” Robbie Lawler and Scott “Hands of Steel” Smith two months ago had Lawler -260 as the MMA odds favorite and Smith the underdog at +200. Unfortunately the fight ended in controversy with a no contest ruling due to an accidental poke in the eye from Lawler. This time around, Elite XC betting will see similar odds for this middleweight title fight. Bodog sportsbook has listed Elite XC MMA odds for Lawler vs. Smith II and have Lawler -285 making him the favorite once again with Smith at +225.
Lawler is known as an aggressive, knee striking fighter that uses his square chin and guidance from the Team Hughes corner to apply constant pressure and eventually wear down his opponent with developed wrestling skills. Besides the power that Lawler possesses, he also has an uncanny ability to explode into the right technique at the right time. Scott Smith is also a powerful fighter and comes into this fight with an equally impressive 13-4 MMA odds record with 11 by knockout including his last two fights against Kyle Noke and Jeff Morris. Elite XC Betting Odds PredictionCurrently the Elite XC MMA odds at Bodog sportsbook have Robbie Lawler as the -285 MMA betting favorite and you should expect that line to hold until the fight. Smith definitely has the talent to compete with Lawler but doesn’t have what it takes to knock out a fighter like him. This Elite XC odds matchup is being called “Unfinished Business” for a reason so plan to see Lawler close shop and finish business early moving to a 16-4 record. Lawler vs Smith ResultsScott Smith lost to Robbie Lawler by 2nd round TKO at -285 in boxing odds. |
