Tonight at 10PM, CBS Sports Elite XC is going to make its debut in Newark, New Jersey.  There are several anticipated MMA Elite XC fights on the scorecard.  One of those being the Elite XC heavyweight match up between Brett Rogers and Jon Murphy.  This without a doubt is going to be a very exciting MMA matchup with two good fighters going at each other.

Brett Rogers comes into this fight with an unbeaten record of 6-0.  He is a new rising star in the MMA world and all of his wins have either come by KO or TKO.  This is why the CBS Sports premiere fight will be one MMA betting matchup to watch because it will surely end with a knockout.  Rogers is fairly young at 27 years old who stands 6’5” and weighs 265 pounds.  He is known for his intimidating looks and also for his devastating knockout power.  In his most recent fight against James Thompson he knocked him out in the first round.  He is eager for this fight and looks to do the same to Murphy.  Currently Oddsmakers at Sportsbook.com have Brett Rogers as a -280 favorite heading into tonight’s fight action.

John Murphy is fighting out of Minersville, Pa., and holds a MMA record of just 4-2.  He is very athletic and believe it or not, a very fast heavyweight.  He will try to use his quickness against Rogers and catch him off guard with one of his punches.  Murphy is a former college football player so he knows how to take some punishment and has a strong chin.  He is a well rounded athlete and is going to be a good match for the undefeated Rogers.  I expect to see fireworks in the fight early and often as I believe both fighters will stand up and duke it out.  The MMA action will be quick and intense and I like Rogers to win this fight by knockout, late in the first round.
