James Toney It was a busy Saturday evening for gamblers who follow the UFC and also like to play at online casinos. After the UFC 118 results were in, bettors turned their attention back to the online casinos for their action.

International gamblers have caught on to the UFC fighting phenomenon that has swept across the US. Now, in addition to the regulated online casinos, gamblers in Europe can enjoy placing some money on the mixed martial arts events.

On Saturday that meant UFC 118. The main event featured Frankie Edgar and B.J Penn. The latter was looking to get revenge, but it was Edgar that got the best of his opponent again in a unanimous decision, with identical scores of 50-45 on each card.

The other featured match of the evening had Randy Couture fighting against James Toney. Toney is a former boxer that was making his return to fighting in the octagon instead of the ring. Couture took care of Toney easily, winning in the first round.

Sports books have been receiving more action on the sport of MMA over the past couple of years. The pay-per view events sell out all across the world, and President Dana White does as good a job of promoting his sport as any executive in the country.

After the matches, gamblers who made some extra cash during the fights turned their attention back to online casinos. Online poker is receiving similar attention to MMA these days, with cash games and tournaments running all day long at online sites.
