UFC betting odds favor Tyson Griffin as he faces Hermes Franca in UFC 103 on Saturday from Dallas, Texas. Griffin is a popular choice with those that bet on UFC as he is a 3-1 favorite in UFC betting against Franca.
UFC betting has a lot of great action for Saturday night including this Griffin-Franca bout. Griffin is 13-2 in his career with five wins coming by knockout. That could tell you that this fight has the chance of going the distance in UFC betting. Griffin won back in April in UFC betting against Rafael Dos Anjos and has not fought since. “A dominant win against Hermes Franca would put me back in the contender runnings.” Griffin said to MMA Weekly. “I’m gonna fight him smart and fight him hard and hopefully bring the pace so he doesn’t have that knockout power in the third, and doesn’t have that submission strength in the third.”
Franca is a veteran fighter that has lost two of his last three fights in UFC betting. He lost to Sean Sherk and Frankie Edgar, both by decision in UFC betting. He did get a win over Marcus Aurelio in UFC betting last October. He has a record of 19-7 with six of those wins coming by knockout.
Griffin is the more talented fighter in this UFC betting bout and there is no question he is a deserving sports betting favorite. That doesn’t mean Franca can’t win in sports betting though. He has a lot of experience and should at least take the fight the distance for those that bet on UFC.
