Mixed Martial Arts Betting Odds: Strikeforce is coming back to Showtime with a talented card backing up the main event with the anticipated female title fight and MMA Betting with Miesha Tate defending her championship against undefeated and big talking Ronda Rousey. The main card fights tee off on each other at 10 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on West Coast) on Saturday, March 3, 2012. These battles take place from the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, and it will be broadcast LIVE by Showtime. BookMaker will provide MMA Betting for most events and provide Live wagering for many sporting events.

This Boxing title is for the female Strikeforce Bantamweight Champion and should provide plenty of action and talking when Miesha Tate defends against Ronda Rousey.

The full lineup and MMA Betting for Strikeforce – Tate vs Rousey is set with nine fights closing with the women's bantamweight championship belt between Miesha Tate and Ronda Rousey. This talent-rich fight card includes a co-headliner light heavyweight fight between King of the Cage Champ Mike Kyle and Dream champ Gegard Mousasi.

The main event will pit Miesha "Takedown" Tate defending her women's title against Ronda Rousey, and this bout is getting a lot of press due to Rousey going on a tirade press tour calling out Miesha Tate.

She can't just discount Ronda "Rowdy" Rousey (4-0-0) and her personal attack with words, because she has been wasting her opponents in a timely manner. The last year has been stellar with four fights, four submissions and all four victories done in under 50 seconds of the first round. Tate is a skilled fighter, but this 25 year old Santa Monica smack talker nicknamed "Rowdy" cannot be taken lightly.

The interview with Champ Miesha Tate addressing Rousey's rants about everything from Tate's boyfriend to this fight is a must hear, because of the calm and feminine demeanor that Miesha delivers such quotes as "I don't want to just like fight this girl, I don't want to just beat her, I want to really hurt her. I really do, I want to like mar her face if at all possible, that would be nice."

If "Takedown" can reprimand Rousey in the ring enough to defend her title, I would expect her to pursue a title fight against who she wanted to fight before this opponent's degradation became too much. Sarah Kaufman is the woman Tate can't wait to avenge a defeat three years ago against. Kaufman was also a past Strikeforce champion, so that fight should be another fan favorite for MMA Betting if she gets by "Rowdy" Rousey.

Gegard "The Dreamcatcher" Mousasi (23-3-2) and Mike "MAK" Kyle (19-8-1) are the respectable co-headliner duo in the pre-match to the main event. Mousasi hasn't lost since his Unanimous Decision to Muhammad "King Mo" Lawal in April of 2010 and is coming off a Unanimous win at Strikeforce – Melendes vs Masvidal December 17, 2011.

Kazuo "Hitman" Misaki (24-11-2) will bring his experience from Pride against Paul "Semtex" Daley (29-11-2) who is from England in another main card match.

In one of the other featured fights, a former Strikeforce Middleweight Champion Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza will take on the undefeated Derek Brunson at 9-0 in MMA fighting. He was another All-American wrestler coming up to fight MMA and will be preceding the main events.

KJ Noons will also fight Josh Thomson who used to hold a Strikeforce title himself. There are also four preliminary fights that can be seen on Showtime Extreme starting at 8 p.m. ET before the five fights on the main card begin on Showtime at 10 p.m. ET.
