UFC 74 takes place Saturday, August 25th at 10:00pm est at the Mandalay 
Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, NV. Heres the complete fight card and the available odds at this time. 
Main event:
UFC Heavyweight Championship title bout
UFC Heavyweight Championship title bout
*current champ
*Randy "The Natural" Couture(15-8-0) vs Gabriel "Napao" Gonzaga(8-1-0)
Gonzaga -140 (risk $140 to win $100)
Couture +110 (risk $100 to win $110)
*No doubt Couture would have much rather fought Cro Cop, at least with him you know where he wants to fight you at which is on his feet. With Gonzaga its a crap shoot, he has proven to be both an accomplished wrestler who is comfortable on the ground and a devastating striker on his feet, as Mirko Cro Cop found out the hard way at UFC 70. Couture is old, but experienced and I think he will have all he can handle with Gonzaga. Couture is the fan favorite and I would expect the line to move towards a more even keel, so if you like Couture take him now, but if you like Gonzaga then wait until we get closer to the fight and the true line will come out making it less expensive. I gotta say that Gonzaga while less experienced looks to be more hungry and with the lack of respect he has been shown lately it is safe to say that he is like a wounded animal, unpredictable and wild. In my opinon, Couture should be worried.
Undercard Events:
Lightweights
Roger "El Matador" Huerta(20-1-1) vs Alberto Crane(8-0-0)
Huerta -535 (risk $535 to win $100)
*Huerta is a wrestler by trade but, he seems more comfortable on his feet as more than half of his 20 wins have come by way of KO/TKO from strikes. His considerable experience over Crane justifies the lop sided line and he should win handily. However, Crane is on an 8 fight win streak with all but 1 win coming by submission. Crane will definantly try to take it to the ground right from the start, he wants no taste of Huerta's standup strikes, but this won't help either as I said before, Huerta is a wrestler by trade and is 7 years the junior to Crane which counts for alot of stamina and recovery. Unless Crane can catch Huerta off guard and knock his lights out it will most likely be a disappointing night for him.
Welterweights
Josh "Kos" Koscheck(11-1-0) vs Georges "Rush" St. Pierre(13-2-0)
Koscheck +160 (risk $100 to win $160)
St. Pierre -210 (risk $210 to win $100)
* I am a big Koscheck fan, hes an up and comer and isn't afraid to take a hit. His most recent victory came against the heavy favorite Diego Sanchez at UFC 69 when he pounded out the rounds with Sanchez and earned an unanimous decision in 3 rounds. Koscheck is a versitile fighter and does not limit himself to a certain style although he has utilized the ground in 4 of his last 9 wins. He likes to strike quick and then shoot to take a stunned opponent to the ground for a submission. St Pierre is coming off a devastating loss to Matt Serra at UFC 69 and will be looking to climb back up the ladder to fight for the championship again. St. Pierre is a devastating striker which is no doubt why he is such a heavy favorite. St. Pierre will obviously give Koscheck all he can handle and try to keep the fight standing up, as tall as St. Pierre is I can see Koscheck making a quick strike and then try to shoot to take him down. Regardless I think this will be a great fight and the line is way too one sided in favor of St. Pierre, I would wait for the public to jump on the favorite as they always do and inflate the line and then I would jump on Koscheck for the simple value of the line. If you like St. Pierre then take him now!!!
Lightweights
Kurt "Batman" Pellegrino(16-2-0) vs Joe "Daddy" Stevenson(32-7-0)
Stevenson -270 (risk $270 to win $100)
Pellegrino +210 (risk $100 to win $210)
*Joe Stevenson has a ton of fights under his belt and for only being 25 years old hes well on his way to claiming the lightweight championship. Stevenson is a submission artist who isn't afraid to take a hit on his feet especially if hes waiting to catch you with a stunner to the chin and then take your legs out from under you to get to the ground where he is most comfortable. Batman Pellegrino on the other hand has far less experience and is basically the same fighter, he like to go to the ground as 80% of his wins have come by way of submission. For the fight to be intresting they should both stay on their feet, but I doubt that will happen and most likely it will go to the ground where Stevenson will be pounding on Pellegrino asking him, "who's your Daddy".
Middleweights
Patrick "The Predator" Cote(11-4-0) vs Kendall "Da Spyder" Grove(10-3-0)
Middleweights
Ryan Jensen(11-1-0) vs Thales Leites(10-1-0)
Leites -290 (risk $290 to win $100)
Jensen +230 (risk $100 to win $230)
Light Heavyweights
Renato "Babalu" Sobral(27-7-0) vs David Heath(9-1-0)
Sobral -260 (risk $260 to win $100)
Heavyweights
Frank Mir(9-3-0) vs Antoni Hardonk(5-3-0)
Hardonk +150 (risk $100 to win $150)
*It has been a long time coming for Frank Mir, he has been out of the octagon for almost a year, Mir's claim to fame was submitting Tim Sylvia at UFC 48. Since then he has lost 2 out of his last 3 fights and seemed to fade out but so did the rest of the heavyweight division after Couture won it. Mir is best on the ground if you stand him up and beat on him he really doesn't like it, thats how you beat him. Hardonk is relatively unknown and just got his ass whipped at UFC Fight Night 9 by another scrub so basically this looks to be a welcome back match for Mir setup by Dana White to reinvigorate the Heavyweight division. The reason the line is as close as it is is because neither of these guys are that good and Mir has fan recognition which keeps the line high. I doubt it will be a very eventful fight, but Mir will probably take it only because Hardonk is that bad.
Lightweights
Clay "The Carpenter" Guida(21-5-0) vs Marcus "Maximus" Aurelio(14-4-0)
Aurelio -105 (risk $105 to win $100)
