UFC LIVE 4 comes tonight from the Consol Energy Center (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) and has an official start time of 9:00pm ET on VERSUS and will also be broadcast via a live online stream from the UFC LIVE VIDEO SPOT starting at 8:00pm ET. The entire preliminary card will be streamed online from the UFC Facebook Page. Canadian MMA fight fans can watch the card on Rogers Sportsnet. UFC LIVE is headlined by Cheick Kongo versus Pat "HD" Barry, with Kongo favored at -210 (risk $210 to win $100) and Barry the underdog at +170 (risk $100 to win $170).
Matt "Meathead" Mitrione -280 vs. Christian Morecraft +220: The "Meathead" legend started on TUF 10 and only grew when he sent internet sensation Kimbo Slice packing. At only 4-0 does he deserve to be sitting as a -280 favorite against a fighter with great striking and grappling skills that took out Sean McCorkle in UFC Fight Night 24? Look for Morecraft to muscle "Meathead" into the cage and possibly get the submission and at the very least win a decision.
UFC Free Pick: Christian Morecraft +220
Cheick Kongo -210 vs. Pat "HD" Barry +170: Vegas Runner is confident that Kongo should be a bigger favorite and that Barry has a fan base due to being a "big puncher". Cheick has went from just being a puncher to taking guys down and is now 61% on his strike rate and 69% on his takedowns. Barry has been training with "Death Clutch" to improve his wrestling skills, but is it enough to survive a Kongo ground fight? The reach advantage will be a big factor and look for an easy "ground and pound" victory for Kongo.
UFC Live Prediction: Cheick Kongo -210
