Boxing odds online: Mexico’s own Yair Rodriguez (4-1, 1 KO, 1 SUB) will get home court advantage when he fights American Charles Rosa (10-1, 3 KO, 7 SUBs) in Mexico City at UFC 188.
Rodriguez has built up some buzz as the winner of The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America but he faces a stern test in Charles Rosa, a bright prospect who trains with a world-class camp in American Top Team.
Check Bookmaker’s UFC 188 odds for the latest Rodriguez-Rosa money lines, and expect Rosa to be the favorite. While Rosa will certainly be a crowd favorite, oddsmakers can’t ignore the fact that Rosa is by far the more experienced fighter. In this three-round bout, the over/under is likely to be set at 2.5 rounds.
Charles Rosa bounced back from a loss in his UFC debut to Dennis Siver with a win over Sean Soriano at UFC Fight Night this past January. The Boston native has shown an excellent ground game, with seven submissions in 10 overall wins. In fact, only one of his 11 fights have gone the distance. And at 28 years old, Rosa is squarely in his athletic prime.
Rodriguez was victorious in his UFC debut against Leonardo Morales at UFC 180, but his paltry resume only has four fights in smaller Mexican promotions prior to that. It’s hard to tell how good he might be, but at 22 years old he’s got plenty of time to get better. This match against Rosa will be extremely telling for the kid’s potential.
If you bet on Rosa vs. Rodriguez with our UFC 188 odds, wagering on Rodriguez is a tough sell. While he’s definitely got some hype, Rodriguez is going against a guy in his prime with more than twice as many fights. Plus, I love the killer instinct that Rosa has shown throughout his career – it’s something that should translate in the octagon. I see the American being aggressive with submission attempts en route to a decision victory.
