Beating the Odds: UFC Fight Night ‘Whittaker vs. Brunson’

Daniel Kelly paid no mind to the sportsbooks. In fact, he had a nice laugh at their expense.

The four-time Olympian entered his UFC Fight Night 101 clash with Chris Camozzi as an underdog -- BetDSI.com listed him at +173 -- and walked away with a unanimous decision on Saturday at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia. The judges rewarded Kelly’s efforts with 29-28, 29-27 and 30-27.

The victory was not without considerable difficulty, as Camozzi (-210) split open the Australian judoka with a standing elbow strike in the first round, drenching the cage in blood.
