UFC 100 Betting Odds

Written by Jimmy Boyd

UFC 100 odds are on the minds of most online sportsbook betting players right now, and MMA’s biggest company will hold this massive event in Las Vegas on Saturday night. The double main event features a pair of title fights, one in which a champion is looking for revenge, while in the other, one tries to inch his way closer to a superfight. These should be some of the most exciting sports picks of the weekend to make if you’re sports betting online.

UFC 100 odds – Saturday, July 11, 9:00 PM ET

Champion Brock Lesnar (3-1) will try and unify the heavyweight division when he takes on interim champion Frank Mir (12-3), who is the only man to beat Lesnar so far. Lesnar fared very well in their match at UFC 81, using a ground-and-pound strategy against Mir, but his inexperience shone through as he allowed Mir to get him into a kneebar. Mir defeated Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira for the interim title at UFC 92, while Lesnar manhandled Randy Couture at UFC 91, so there is a lot at stake here. Handicapping software has Lesnar as a -225 favorite in this contest, and he should get the win, but Mir has a lot more experience to draw from, as proven by the last fight.

Welterweight champ Georges St. Pierre (18-2) will attempt to extend his winning streak to six when he faces off against Thiago Alves (16-3), who is nicknamed the “Pitbull” because of his aggressive style. GSP defeated B.J. Penn for the second time at UFC 94, and he showed a lot of strength and technique to take Penn to the canvas as much as he did. This means takedown defense will be essential to Alves’ survival, and he showed he was capable of it in a win over Josh Koscheck at UFC 90. Koscheck is a former wrestling champion, but Alves brushed his takedown attempts aside with ease and won the decision handily. GSP is a -300 favorite to defend his title, and if he wins, he could be in line for a superfight against Anderson Silva later this year. But he had better not look past Alves, who has insane knockout power. Look at all the angles before going to your offshore sportsbook.
