UFC betting on Saturday includes what should be an excellent bout between Anthony Johnson and Josh Koscheck. Those that bet on UFC 106 will notice this fight is virtually a pick on the UFC betting odds board.
UFC betting is not going to lack for action in this bout. Both of these fighters will want to go right at it from the beginning in UFC betting. Johnson is 8-2 in his career with six wins coming by knockout. Koscheck is known for his first season on The Ultimate Fighter and now he is known for being an aggressive striker and wrestler in UFC betting. Koscheck is looking to win this bout in UFC betting and get a rematch against Georges St. Pierre. Koscheck has a record of 13-4 with four knockouts and four submissions. Both of these fighters were recently in action in UFC betting. Johnson destroyed Yushiyuki Yoshida in October in UFC betting while Koscheck knocked out Frank Trigg in September.
Koscheck is upset that Dan Hardy is getting a shot at St. Pierre before he is.
“I’ll let the fans decide after Saturday, after I beat Johnson’s ass to see where I belong in the division,” he said. St. Pierre will be watching. “Koscheck is no joke,” said St. Pierre, “Josh, he can beat Johnson if he fights smart. He has more tools. But Johnson, he has the power on his side, I think.” Those that bet on UFC 106 will notice the Koscheck-Johnson bout as the co-feature along with the fight between Tito Ortiz and Forrest Griffin.
For Koscheck to win in UFC betting he needs to take the fight to the ground. Once he gets a fighter to the ground he has a huge edge in UFC betting. Koscheck has also improved his striking ability as he proved last time out in his UFC betting win against Yoshida. “His right hand is deadly,” Johnson said. “I know it and I haven’t even been hit by it yet. Looking at Frank Trigg, looking at Yoshida, he throws it and when he throws it, it’s like an overhand right and it’s like a fastball just coming at you 110 miles an hour.”
Johnson has the power and size edge as those that bet on UFC 106 see, but Koscheck does not seem worried. This UFC betting bout probably won’t be decided by size but by striking and wrestling skills. Johnson has the slight edge in striking while Koscheck has the wresting edge and that makes this fight a good one to pick as you bet on UFC 106.
