UFC 110 Changes

ElvisSinosicWith just two days until the event, Ben Rothwell and Elvis Sinosic have had to pull out of UFC 110. This has meant the elimination of the fight between Sinosic and Chris Haseman, and Mirko ‘Cro Cop’ Filipovic will now face Australian MMA pioneer Anthony Perosh, of Sinosic Perosh Martial Arts. Sinosic has injured his shoulder and Rothwell is apparently quite ill.

This will be a major disappointment to some of the old time Australian MMA fans, but at least it’s another Australian fighter on the main card. The Sinosic/Haseman fight was never likely to make it to the main card, so this could be a good outcome for Australian MMA. Of course, it would be best if Perosh could take the win, but his UFC record of 0-2 makes that seem unlikely against a fighter like Cro Cop.

There is still time to place bets on the fights at UFC 110. BetUS is offering great odds on the biggest fights at this event, and new players can claim a first deposit bonus of 50% to make their bankroll go even further.

    Conan O'BrienFor all of you online gambling fans out there who simply love something a little left of center, BetUS has just the thing for you. With so much happening in the celebrity world at the moment, there are several new wagers on offer at BetUS for you to sink your teeth into.

    Simon Cowell has been in the headlines recently following the shock announcement of his resignation from the American Idol series. 2010 will be Cowell’s final year on the popular music program before he is whisked away to a US version of his own brainchild, The X-Factor.

    BetUS has some exciting – and hilarious – odds for you to make a wager on, including topics such as:

    Which judge is mostly likely to have an affair?

    Simon Cowell: 9/5
    Randy Jackson: 5/1
    Kara DioGuardi: 2/1
    Ellen DeGeneres: 3/1

    Who will replace Simon Cowell in American Idol?

    Late night programs have also been in the news recently after Conan O’Brien revealed that he would be keen to move away from NBC after the happenings of the past few weeks. With the network intent on pushing back The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien to an early morning slot, and bringing Jay Leno back to his old 11:35PM stomping ground, Conan could very well be moving away from NBC.

    Where will Conan O’Brien End Up?

    FOX: 2/3
    ABC: 2/1
    CBS: 3/1
    HBO: 4/1
    Internet: 5/1

    And last, but certainly not least, the rumor mill has been running wild this week with reports that both director Sam Raimi, and Spider-Man himself, Tobey Maguire, won’t be reprising their roles for the fourth instalment of the popular series.

    Analysts at BetUS have placed a number of odds after recent proceedings, and you can make a wager on them today.

    Who will replace Tobey Maguire in Spider-Man 4?

    Robert Pattinson: 4/1
    Michael Cera: 6/1
    Johnny Simmons: 7/1
    Logan Lerman: 8/1
    Aaron Johnson: 10/1

    Andrew Garfield:
    8/1
    Daniel Radcliffe: 10/1
