UFC 73 Stacked Odds

Date: July 7, 2007 Location: Sacramento, Calif. Venue: ARCO Arena Broadcast: Pay-Per-View

This event is being titled Stacked because of the intense card that is scheduled. Silva and Sherk will both be looking to defend their titles, Silva at middleweight, and Sherk at lightweight. Both of these individuals gained their titles at UFC 64 and will be taking on formidable challengers.

Also the man people love to hate Tito Ortiz will be fighting The Ultimate Fighter 2 heavyweight winner Rashad Evans in a light heavyweight match and Tito Ortiz intends to put a painful end to Rashad Evans’ perfect 15-0 record. Let the fireworks begin. UFC 73, loaded with UFC superstars, takes place LIVE from ARCO Arena in Sacramento, Calif. Saturday, July 7, 2007.

Rashad Evans and Tito Ortiz may not be a title fight, but this matchup is going to draw plenty of fanfare and attention. Evans was a two-time all-State wrestler in New York and won a National Junior College championship while attending Niagra County CC. Then he moved on to Michigan State where he was 48-34. Evans is inexperienced having won only 10 matches without a loss and his last was an impressive high kick KO over Sean Salmon at UFC Fight Night 8 on January, 25th. He has three knockouts and two submission victories.

Tito may not be the champ, but he's one of the most popular fights in the world. The Huntington Beach Bad Boy comes in with a record of 15-5 with seven knockouts and two submission victories. His last three losses have come to Chuck Liddell (twice) and Randy Coutoure (lost light heavyweight belt).

The last UFC event held at ARCO Arena took place Nov. 18, 2006 to a sellout crowd of more than 15,300 with a gate of $2.7 million. This event promises to be another sell-out with the layers of spectacular matchups planned, including the featured main event Anderson Silva vs. Nathan Marquardt.
