UFC 99 betting odds are on the sports betting board for UFC 99: The Comeback with the event scheduled for June 13 in Cologne, Germany. It will be the first time ever that a UFC event will be held in Germany. One of the fights on the UFC odds card has Cheick Kong facing Cain Velasquez.
UFC 99 betting odds at the sportsbook are also expected to include Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic facing Mustapha Al-Turk, Mike Swick against Ben Saunders, Marcus Davis versus Dan Hardy, Spencer Fisher against Caol Uno and a good matchup in UFC odds between former UFC champion Rich Franklin and former PRIDE champion Wanderlei Silva.
The UFC 99 betting odds bout between Kongo and Velasquez is a new one since Velasquez was going to fight Heath Herring but Herring is out with an illness. Velasquez would have been favored over Herring and he will probably be favored over Kongo in UFC 99 betting odds at the sportsbook but the fight might now be tougher for Velasquez. The ability that Kongo brings to the table is greater than what Herring would have brought as Kongo is better standing up and he also has a big reach advantage.
Kongo actually lost to Herring at UFC 87 in UFC odds but it was a controversial split decision. That was the last time that Kongo actually lost a fight in UFC odds although he hasn’t faced much serious competition. Velasquez hasn’t faced anyone noteworthy lately either so this fight should be a good one in UFC 99 betting odds. Velasquez has had a tendency lately to trade shots with his opponents and if he does that against Kongo he could easily lose this fight in UFC 99 odds.
The advantage that Velasquez has in this UFC 99 betting odds matchup is his wrestling ability. The sports betting question will be whether the fight goes in that direction or not. If both fighters stay on their feat then Kongo has a legitimate chance to spring the upset in UFC betting odds. The only concern would be that Kong is having his second fight in just two months.
UFC betting odds numbers show that Kongo is 14-4-1 in MMA action including 7-2 in the UFC. UFC betting odds stats tell us that Velasquez is 5-0 in MMA action including 3-0 in the UFC. The winner of this bout in UFC 99 betting odds could be poised for a title shot.
