UFC 99: The Comeback kicks off this Saturday at Lanxess Arena in Germany. Let's take a look at the betting lines and my picks.
Rich Franklin -155 vs Wanderlei Silva +115
Cain Velasquez -200 vs Cheick Kongo +160
Marcus Davis -225 vs Dan Hardy +175
Spencer Fisher -225 vs Caol Uno +175
Mike Swick -225 vs Ben Saunders +175
Terry Etim -250 vs Justin Buchholz +225
Paul Taylor -500 vs Peter Sobatta +300
Mirko Crocop -450 vs Mustapha Al-Turk +275
Paul Kelly -550 vs Ronald Delgado +325
Denis Stojnic -110 vs Stefan Struve -130
Dennis Siver -200 vs Dale Hartt +150
(John Hathaway vs Rick Story has no line yet)
I think there is some real good value betting on Kongo. Cain Velasquez is amazing and one of the most hyped MMA prospects in a long time, but he is still raw. Kongo has a ton of experience and some serious skills to boot. Personally, I think Cain pulls out the victory, but it wouldn't surprise me if the underdog makes you some cash in this bout.
I think Ben Saunders is also a good underdog bet. He is a huge welterweight, undefeated and was ridiculous in his last fight. He may just have the skills to beat Mike "Quick" Swick.
Some other underdogs with a chance- Dan Hardy, Wanderlei Silva and Justin Buchholz. I am not familiar enough with Peter Sobatta or Ronald Delgado to know if its worth taking the risk.
Place your bets over at Betus!
