Sports betting fans are lining up to get the latest odds for the UFC 101 event. After betting online recently concluded the UFC 100 event, the bar has been raised for every other UFC event thereafter. It will be nearly impossible to match the fireworks of the centennial blockbuster but if you’re looking for top notch MMA betting, you need look no further than the UFC 101 event.
Sports odds makers have set the lines and the action will follow shortly. On August 8th the pay-per-view machinery will be in motion as Philadelphia prepares to host the UFC 101 sports betting event. Sports online has highlighted the BJ Penn vs. Kenny Florian fight as the match to watch. Indeed it’s the main event for this fight but it just might be another fight that captures the imagination of the sports public.
Any time Anderson Silva steps into the octagon the sports betting online world takes notice. But when he goes up against the veteran Forrest Griffin at the UFC 101 betting fans might want to take special notice. In fact, sports betting fans might even consider taking a flyer on the odds that Griffin actually upsets the middle weight champ of the world.
It sounds crazy, betting against the Silva, the most dangerous man in sports betting. And he’s still the heavy favorite to win in the sports betting lines. But there exists the very real possibility that he could lose this fight. Standard probability would favor Anderson but there are several key reasons why you might take a gamble on Griffin and a potentially big pay day. Namely, Silva’s lackluster wins in his last two sports betting fights and the fact that he’s fighting at a weight above his natural weight class. And that makes this a very interesting fight, not only because of the top talent, but because of the sports betting possibilities.
But this is hardly the only intriguing match up for sports betting fans at the UFC 101. This event is loaded with quality fights and if it wasn’t for the tough act it has to follow, would be heralded as one of the best UFC events in some time. As the UFC expands and gains greater notoriety in the sports world the quality of the fighters it attracts increases as the quality of the fights. And with 100 events under its belt, the UFC has come a long way in a short time and the next 100 events, starting with the UFC 101 sports online extravaganza, promise to be even better than the first.
