UFC Betting Odds: Lauzon vs Franca at SBG Global

January 20th, 2021 UFC Betting

UFC betting odds makers will have a full plate on February 7th, 2009. On that date in time the seventh edition of UFC Fight Night will get underway with Joe Lauzon and Hermes Franca headlining the UFC odds list. While neither fighter is quite a UFC betting odds title holder, the action in the ring should be as good as any UFC odds event you’ll see.

UFC betting odds makers’ toughest call of night could very well be this fight. The match-up between Lauzon and Franca will feature two very similar fighters in the UFC odds. Both are extremely tough and both are skilled in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu –expect this UFC odds match up to end up on the mat sooner, rather than later. There are only two things that differentiate these fighters: height/reach and age, and that could very well decide the outcome of this UFC betting odds.

At his pinnacle Hermes was very likely the better fighter between the two, but at age 34 (hardly washed up for a fighter) it’s obvious that Franca has lost a step. Over his last three UFC odds bouts he’s gone 1-2 winning only by decision against the mediocre Marcus Aurelio. While his UFC betting odds losses came against top quality like champ Sean Sherk, Franca is no longer in his prime in terms of UFC odds fighting.

Lauzon on the other hand is just entering his peak fighting window and at 24 has yet to realize his UFC odds potential. He’s a lean fighter who can probably handle Franca when it comes to boxing, but this UFC betting odds fight is much more likely to end on the mat. In terms of submission holds Lauzon will have to be wary of the crafty veteran’s moves on the mat, but Lauzon shouldn’t be afraid to take the fight to Franca. In fact, being the aggressor should favor Lauzon in the UFC betting odds as his conditioning will most likely be superior.

Despite suffering a loss to Kenny Florian in March of last year in his their UFC betting odds battle, the loss seems to have sharpened Lauzon’s fighting skills and he avenged the loss with a win over Kyle Bradley in his last bout. With a convincing win here, Lauzon will be seriously discussed as a possible contender for the UFC odds belt.

Only time will tell how this fight turns out but the UFC odds will likely favor the younger Lauzon.
