    The biggest mismatch betting wise for UFC 88 is Matt Brown (7-6) vs Dong Hyun Kim (10-0-1)

    No one knows about this guy so gettign good odds for this guy will be good as Brown is hyped but has not pulled through

    "Matt Brown is basically a bar fighter with some grappling experience. He is a blue belt under UFC underachiever instructor Jorge Gurgel. If he is learning grappling under Gurgel he is most likely not learning proper technique and fundamentals. This is best exemplified by his lack of technique when he got submitted by Amir Sadollah, a person with no MMA ring experience. "

    I don't agree with assuming that since JG is a mediocre MMA fighter that he won't be a good BJJ instructor. Renzo Gracie has almost an identical MMA record and nobody doubts Renzo's teaching. Fabio Holanda is another example of a so-so fighter who is a great instructor. Even Ximu Machado has lost five of nine.
