If it’s Sunday, then that probably means that a big mixed martial event took place somewhere in the world last night. This time, it just so happened to be the latest offering from the UFC, entitled UFC 78: Validation. The main event featured two undefeated fighters in Rashad Evans and Michael Bisping.

We’ve got the full results below.

RESULTS VS. BODOG ODDS

We posted the betting lines from Bodog on Friday, so now it’s time to take a look and see if any underdogs beat the odds..

Of the 9 fights on the card, the Bodog favorite won 8 of those. The only upset according to the betting line was Thiago Silva at +140 defeating Houston Alexander. I might add that I correctly predicted that result (Listen carefully. That’s the sound of me tooting my own horn).

As far as my personal fight predictions, I went a respectable 7-2. My only misses were Akihiro Gono and Frank Edgar. Let’s see how I do in December and January, when the UFC is putting on three different shows.
