Sports betting fans of heavyweight fights are going to dig the UFC 102 fight night. There is a whole host of interesting sportsbetting online match ups in this upcoming UFC event, but it is the heavyweight class that is drawing most of the attention at the UFC 102. The once barren weight class is all of a sudden the most exciting among a talent rich UFC and the one with arguably the most interesting sportsbetting possibilities.
Sportsbetting fans are no doubt interested in watching the Randy Couture and Antonio Nogueira fight. Any time that Couture steps into the ring it’s a big deal. He’s not only one of the biggest names in the sports betting history of the UFC but he’s one of the biggest names in the history of MMA. Granted, he’s not exactly in his prime, but there is never a good time to get into the sportsbetting online arena with this guy and Nogueira will have to be at his best to take this sportsbetting match up.
At 46 years old Couture really has no business stepping into this sportsbetting online match up. But he just might be the favorite, at least among the sportsbetting public who often confuse name recognition with probability. And that could create some sportsbetting opportunity for the savvy wagerer looking to put some money on this sportsbetting online match up.
Granted, this is no charity match for Couture. He’s earned the right to participate in this sportsbetting bout based on recent performances. Sure he was beaten in his most recent sports betting match, but up against Brock Lesnar, no human seems to have much of a chance. In his last three fights he’s 2-1 with two KO’s. Not bad for a 46-year-old legend of sportsbetting online that should be in a rocking chair not the octagon.
Still, Nogueira should pick up the win in this sportsbetting bout. He’s younger, in better shape and no slouch himself. His 31-5 career record speaks for itself and despite Couture’s fame, his fighting ability at this point in sportsbetting history simply doesn’t match up with Nogueira.
There will be many, many, many fans of the sport taking Couture in the sports betting online odds, and that should skew things in favor of big payday for a Nogueira win. While not as well known as the former UFC champ, Nogueira is the better fighter in this sports betting match up and a smart bettor will place his money accordingly.
