The UFC 99 betting odds for the fight between Marcus Davis, who stresses his Irish roots, and Dan Hardy, who hails from Britain, is sure to attract lots of nationalistic excitement from Irish and British MMA fans.
However, when wagering on the UFC 99 betting odds these fans should consider the UFC odds carefully rather than just supporting the representative of a certain country. Davis is featured as the clear favorite in the UFC 99 betting odds, but an upset is certainly possible so one must assess the UFC betting odds carefully.
The UFC 99 betting odds reflect Davis as a favorite due to his respectable MMA career in which he has assembled a 16-4 record and consistently offered value for those wagering on the UFC odds. Davis has a background as a boxer and still seems to favor fighting on his feet, but over time he has improved other techniques that have turned him into a more complete fighter.
Many fans wagering on the UFC 99 betting odds will remember Davis from the second season of The Ultimate Fighter, but he has become a better fighter since losing several matches on the program. Also, veterans of UFC odds know that Davis’ style often leads to very exciting matches and he has won ‘Fight of the Night’ or ‘Knockout of the Night’ honors in three of his last six fights. Nevertheless, gamblers analyzing the UFC 99 betting odds should not assume Davis will enjoy an easy knockout victory over Hardy or a guaranteed payout in the UFC 99 betting odds.
Even though the UFC 99 betting odds reflect Hardy as the underdog, some MMA fans feel as though he has a very realistic chance of winning this matchup. Hardy has not always faced the most challenging opponents, but his 21-6 record is nonetheless very respectable, and he has only lost one of his last 11 fights. Moreover, in his last two fights Hardy provided a nice payout to those wagering on the UFC odds by notching victories in UFC 95 and UFC 89.
One reason Davis may offer value in the UFC 99 betting odds is that he boasts a variety of fighting skills, including Muay Thai and Tae Kwon Do. Even though Davis has improved his overall fighting abilities, when assessing the UFC 99 betting odds one must consider whether Davis is skilled enough to handle the varied assaults of a fighter like Hardy. Moreover, Hardy’s striking is often underappreciated, but this ability was demonstrated clearly in Hardy’s knockout punch in UFC 95. Consequently, Hardy may offer very good value in the UFC 99 betting odds as he may very well notch a surprise victory over Davis.
