The Ultimate Fighting Championship typically holds an event on the Saturday before the Super Bowl in order to cash in on the excitement and strong betting atmosphere that surrounds the big game weekend every year.

There are those among the ranks of MMA fandom that do not appreciate the UFC’s attempts to become a truly global brand and try to get in the European market, specifically the UFC 122 prospects competition which will be hosted in Oberhausen Germany on November 13th.

UFC Main Events are noted for their large quantity of fighting expertise and featuring the greatest names in MMA, but the UFC 122 Main Event to be hosted in Oberhausen Germany on November 13th is a notable exclusion.

The welterweight division in MMA competition is not inevitably the glamour department but in the approaching UFC 122 betting event you’re most likely to see the top fighting in this weight class as there is lots of matches to choose from.

Nate Marquardt and Yushin Okami will take center stage of the Octagon on Saturday November 13th in Oberhausen Germany as the highlighted fighters in the UFC 122 odds action. Both of these men have seen lots of MMA action and have competed numerous UFC events.

Japanese MMA competitor Yushin Okami isn’t really a household name in much of the world, but he’s one competition away from a shot at the middleweight title. If he can for some reason get past competitor Nate Marquardt in the UFC 122 lines competition, he’ll be next in line to battle against Anderson Silva, the top MMA competitor on the planet.

Nobody in the community of MMA would dispute that Nate Marquardt is a rough customer; certainly not his competition in the impending UFC 122 prospects competition, Yushin Okami.

The UFC 122 lines lineup may not be exactly what MMA buffs had in mind following the ultra matchup of heavyweights Brock Lesnar and new champion Cain Velasquez in the UFC 121 championship game.

MMA supporters can hope that ‘UFC Europe’ is more successful than NFL Europe or some other failed American sporting project presented in Europe as the UFC 122 odds action brings back to the old continent for the second time in fewer than 30 days.

No matter what happens the UFC 122 wagering action will take place on November 13th, 2010 at the Konig Pilsner Arena in Oberhausen Germany. Even with opposition to the sport from the German press and the government, the UFC is determined to proceed to press their overseas presence in MMA fighting until they are either accepted or prohibited permanently.
