UFC is back with its third Pay-Per-View of the calendar year on February 26th, 2011, as some of the best fighters in the world duke it out in the octagon. We here at Bankroll Sports are your one stop shop for all things related to the UFC 127 odds, including making our UFC 127 picks for all of the fights on the card.

After a sequence of fights on the prelim card, the middleweight division will take center stage, as Chris Camozzi takes on Kyle Noke. Both of these fighters have an excellent track record, and we feel as though they are relatively evenly matched. This is going to be a real showcase for both men, as neither has all that much experience at the UFC level. Noke came from Elite XC, while Camozzi, only fighting in the second Pay-Per-View in his career, spent most of his time in the Maximum Fighting Championship. Don’t be shocked if this tight fight goes the distance, and if that’s the case, we’ll take our chances with Camozzi on the UFC odds at +160.

The second fight of the night is going to be a welterweight duel between Chris Lytle and Brian Ebersole. Ebersole wasn’t the man that was supposed to be in this fight. Instead, he is replacing Carlos Condit, who suffered a knee injury. This is now a huge scene for Ebersole, who is clearly just being shoved into this fight as a promotion. He is 46-14-1-1 in his career, but isn’t expected to make any sort of an impact. Instead, everyone is expecting to see Lytle end up just making short work in this battle, taking advantage of his time fighting on the main stage in a Pay-Per-View. The UFC 127 lines for this duel only came up recently, as Ebersole was only placed into the match in the middle of February. As expected, Ebersole is a huge underdog at +230 and will most likely end up getting beaten.

The hometown hero of this entire night will be George Sotiropoulos. The Aussie has already won once here in Sydney before, picking up a ‘W’ in UFC 110. There’s no doubt that Dennis Siver is going to provide him with a heck of a challenge, but when push really comes to shove, there is nothing that we think that the man from down under can’t do in this Lightweight battle. We have to lay -320 to get the Aussie on our side, but that’s exactly what we recommend doing for your UFC picks.

From there, it’ll be back to the middleweights, as Michael Bisping looks to avoid getting upset by Jorge Rivera. Rivera is now 38 years old and really might not be able to make it around the ring like he used to. He has been scrapped on several UFC fights in the past, most notably UFC 118 and UFC 122. However, he’s back now at UFC 127 off of arguably the best fight of his career, a TKO victory over Nate Quarry. Rivera is only 7-5 in the UFC though, and he only has an 18-7 record overall. Bisping has headlined all sorts of Pay-Per-Views in his career, including in UFC 120 when he beat Yoshihiro Akiyama by unanimous decision in the headline fight of the night in London. The Englishman will be too tough to top here, as he’ll have the quicker wits about him to take down Rivera. Lay the chalk on the UFC lines at -350.

Finally, in the main fight of the night, BJ Penn will look to get back on top of the welterweight division when he takes on Jon Fitch. It seems like it has been forever since Penn was the holder of the Welterweight Title, but he clearly knows what it takes to get to the top. Both of these men have been halted by Georges St. Pierre in the past, as they both have had their attempts at claiming glory in the Welterweight division. It seems peculiar to us that Fitch is such a big favorite on the UFC 127 betting lines though, as he hasn’t had a match go his way via submission since 2007. Don’t be surprised if we see an upset on Saturday, as Penn could get the job done at a lofty price of +160.
