UFC on Versus 4 is set to go down this Sunday night (June 26, 2011) live on the cable television network emanating from the CONSOL Energy Center in Pittsburgh, PA.
In main card action, John Howard looks to rebound from back-to-back losses for the second time in his career when he takes on fellow struggling welterweight Matt Brown.
"Doomsday" begins as the -255 favorite.
That leaves Brown as a mortal +215 underdog, probably due to his three-fight losing skid that has undoubtedly left him on the Zuffa chopping block as he heads into "Steel City."
Are the oddsmakers calling it like they see it? Or playing it safe? Take a look at how these two welterweights stack up after the jump and decide for yourself.
