UFC on Versus 4 odds: Matt Mitrione vs Christian Morecraft

Photo
UFC on Versus 4 is set to go down this Sunday night (June 26, 2011) live on the cable television network emanating from the CONSOL Energy Center in Pittsburgh, PA.
In main card action, Matt Mitrione looks to continue his undefeated rise through the 265-pound ranks when he takes on the once-beaten Christian Morecraft.
"Meathead" lumbers in as a hefty -275 favorite.
That leaves Morecraft as a +215 underdog despite having twice the experience and a 100-percent finishing rate. Mitrione has gone to the scorecards once in his UFC career.
Are the oddsmakers calling it like they see it? Or playing it safe? Take a look at how these two heavyweights stack up:
265 lbs.: Matt "Meathead" Mitrione (4-0) vs. Christian Morecraft (7-1)
Backgrounds (last five fights):
Mitrione:
Record: 4-0
Notable wins: Did the sport a favor and rid the UFC of Kimbo Slice
Notable losses: Hasn't been defeated since his lackluster run on TUF 10
Strengths: Heavy hands, constantly improving, a gamer
Weaknesses: If he was any greener his nickname would be "Ho Ho Ho"
Morecraft:
Record: 4-1
Notable wins: Exposed Sean McCorkle at UFC Fight Night 24
Notable losses: Got KTFO by Stefan Struve in his UFC debut
Strengths: Great balance of striking and grappling
Weaknesses: Still unproven on the big stage
