UFC 75: Champion vs Champion will take place on September 8th at 4:00pm EST in the 02 Arena in London, England.
GamblersPalace.com is proud to offer early UFC Odds on the UFC 75 whose title card will feature the current UFC Light Heavyweight champ Quinton "Rampage" Jackson 27-6-0 in a battle against the current Pride Fighting Light Heavyweight champ Dan "Hollywood" Henderson 22-5-0. UFC had puchased the Pride Fighting League back in May and this bout will look to unify the belt at the Light Heavyweight division.
The bookmakers currently have Jackson medium favorite at -150(risk $150 to win $100) with Henderson bringing back a respectable +120(risk $120 to win $100). Both fighters are wrestlers by trade, however lately we have seen wrestlers who would much rather box it out with strikes instead of going to the mat. These 2 fighters are prime examples of this as 13 of Jackson's 27 wins have come by way of KO while Henderson has posted up 10 his 22 wins via KO. Jackson is on a 5 fight win streak coming off his championship fight win over Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell with a stunning knockout in the 1st round that left Liddell dazed and confused. This win has no doubt raised Jackson into the upper echelon of UFC fighters and he will no doubt dish out all that Henderson can take. Henderson on the hand is no slouch and has fought the best of the best in Pride, his last fight was back in February when he KO'ed Wanderlei Silva at Pride 33. This will be Henderson's UFC debut and I would expect hes bringing his A game but it has been a while since his last fight which is probably the reason for Jackson being favored so early. Regardless of the touts I believe this will be an all out war and there will be a knockout!!!
The undercard that night will feature a Heavywieght fight between 
Mirko Cro Cop 22-5-2 and Cheick Kongo 19-3-1. Currently Cro Cop is a heavy favorite at -330(risk $330 to win $100) with Kongo on the comeback at +250(risk $100 to win $250). Cro Cop is coming off a heartbreaking loss against Gabriel Gonzaga at UFC 70 where he suffered a devasting kick to the head that rendered him unable to standup, this alone will be enough motivation for the knockout artist Cro Cop to easily dispose of Kongo. Cheick Kongo has been in the UFC for about a year now and has a few wins under his belt, his latest was at UFC 70 where he won by decision against Assuerio Silva. Other than that I really don't recognize anyone else hes fought, if the handicappers are right then it should be a short night for Kongo as he will most likely get knocked out by the Croation. Some other fights on the card that GP will be providing odds for as we get closer to the event date: Matt "The Hammer" Hamill vs Michael "The Count" Bispin
Naoyuki Kotani vs Dennis Silver
