Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz will catch the attention of the fight world this Saturday night (24) with the fight that ends the trilogy between the two. The duel will take place at The Forum, in Inglewood, California (USA), and will be organized by Golden Boy Promotions. The president of the organization, former Mexican boxer Oscar De La Hoya, guarantees that the veterans will secure the biggest purses of their long careers. Really? Certainly, just the guarantee that calling them veterans is not ill will. Liddell is 48 years old, while Ortiz is already 43.

The two met for the UFC on two occasions, in 2004 and 2006. “Iceman” Liddell won both fights by knockout, but the favorite at the bookmakers this time is Ortiz. Let's face it: for those who want to start betting now, a clash between two well-known fighters is a great help to obtain interesting profits from the beginning.

And how do I get started?  

Those who have never bet before need not worry. It's easy, a real breeze, to watch the fights and seek your first profits safely: just enter the OddsShark.com, a partner site that is one of the most respected in this field around the world, choose a bookmaker and create an account. It's very simple, like creating a login in any other space on the internet today.

Once you have registered and entered your credits, just keep an eye on the most profitable options, including a multitude of combinations. Fights are the simplest options in the betting world. There's no way to go wrong. It's about choosing who will win and in which round the fight will end.

But before breaking down the conclusion of the trilogy between Liddell and Ortiz, it is essential to highlight the need for each bettor to study the event in detail. After all, you can't go around burning money, and the fact that the investment is made in a betting house hosted on the internet shouldn't change anything in the always very delicate care of risking your credits in fights.

In the case of MMA, the basic tips for novice bettors are always analyzing the background of each fighter and searching for up-to-date news to find out about injuries or other limitations that could change the investment perspective. The world of betting is growing rapidly all over the world, and in Brazil it is no different. It's really worth trying to use knowledge about everything that happens in the Octagon to strengthen your cash flow.

And what are the profits for Ortiz x Liddell?

For those who think that the trilogy ends with the third equal result, a surprise: Ortiz is the clear favorite this Saturday at the bookmakers – he returns R$ 1,33 for every R$ 1,00 invested in his victory, against R$ 3,40/R$1,00 for Liddell's triumph. It's worth remembering that Ortiz hasn't fought since January 2017, when he won Chael Sonnen. Tito so far has a record of 32 fights, 19 wins, 12 losses and one draw.

Liddell, the underdog in the match, hasn't stepped into the octagon since 2010, when he lost to Rich Franklin. Known around the world as the “Iceman”, he has 29 fights, with 21 wins and eight losses in mixed martial arts.

It's interesting to look at the two and remember their previous fights. After all, there is a considerable distance in the physique and technique of both these days. It's November 2018, and the trilogy comes to an end after duels that took place in April 2004 and December 2006! In the odds available at the time, Liddell was the favorite in both clashes, and he did not disappoint by knocking out his rival in the second and third rounds of the fights valid for UFC 47 and UFC 66, respectively.

With regard to bets, it is worth mentioning that the odds for simple wins are divided into many others. The options are breathtaking and challenge anyone's knowledge. There are, for example, alternatives to profit from the victory method (whether knockout, technical knockout or referee decision), in which round the fight ends and much more.

What about Brazil?

If Liddell and Ortiz are the veterans' clash, Brazil also has an experienced fighter to shake up this Saturday night in California. Gleison Tibau, in full swing at 35 years old, will face the North American Efrain Escudero. Tibau fought 28 times for the UFC, but left the league after 12 years of partnership.

Escudero, it's worth remembering, also comes from the UFC. Gleison planned to move up a category in this fight, but his opponent didn't accept it – the fight will then have a catch weight of 72,5 kg. Until the publication of this text, bookmakers have not opened investments for the confrontation between Tibau and Escudero, but if this really does not happen, fight fans are warned that the vast majority of fights have odds and possibilities of reinforce the budget. The sooner there is familiarization, the greater the chances of profit in competitive fights like those that take place in the main versions of the UFC.

The duel between Liddell and Ortiz is scheduled to start at 0am (Brasília time) this Sunday (25th), according to bookmakers, but anyone who is obsessed with fights knows that the time usually varies a lot. The quotations, according to the OddsShark.com, these are here:
