UFC 73 should be the UFC event of the year, with a superstar fight card including Tito Ortiz, Anderson Silva, and Sean Sherk.
On Saturday July 7th Arco Arena in Sacramento will host the "Stacked" event available on PPV. Some of the more notable of the 9 fights on the card are lightweight champion Sean "muscle shark" Sherk 35-2-1 vs Brazilian born Hermes Franka 19-5-0 as well as light heavyweights Tito "Huntington Beach Bad Boy" Ortiz 16-5-0 vs Rashad "Sugar" Evans 15-o-0. The main event will be middleweight champion Anderson "The Spider" Silva 18-4-0 vs Nate "The Great" Marquardt 28-6-1.
Right now the books have the above mentioned fights available for early betting.
The lightweight champion Sherk is an expected favorite at -230 (risk $230 to win $100) while Franca will bring a nice comeback of +180 (risk $100 to win $180). This should be a great fight between 2 proven fighters, however if it goes to the ground then expect Sherk to be the victor, hes too strong and stout to easily submit, Franca will have to win on his feet. If you like Sherk I would advise taking him right now, as the line will most likely move up as the wise guys come in and pound the number. If you like the Brazilian I would wait for a better price like +200 or so.
The bookmakers currently have Tito Ortiz posting as a slight favorite at -120 
(risk $120 to win $100), while Rashad Evans is -110 (risk $110 to win $100) The truth is is that Ortiz has been getting beat up lately and facing Rashad Evans to start out your rise back to the top is no easy task. Evans is undefeated and has been beating people up lately. If you like Tito then take him right now!!! before the price gets driven up by the mass public making Tito the fan favorite, but if you believe that Evans will get the job done then wait for the + money and jump on him, these 2 fighters are very evenly matched so keep watching the lines as sooner or later there will be an imbalance and then you can take advantage of the value.F
or the main event, middleweight champ Anderson Silva is a slight favorite at -165
(risk $165 to win $100) while the challenger Nate Marquardt is listed at +130 (risk $100 to win $130). At this point Silva looks like hes gonna wipe the floor with this guy, but Marquardt has a ton of experience and is no slouch. Right now the value is on Silva becuase it is considerably cheap for a favorite in a matchup like this, the line will most likely move up to -185 before its over.
