Sports betting options abound at the moment with the MLB baseball season heading into the home stretch, NASCAR heading into the Chase and the Tour de France dominating online sports betting.
In the world of combat sport right now there is nothing that can compete with the popularity or entertainment of the UFC fighting. With UFC 100 deemed one of the greatest successes in the history of online sports betting in the fighting sports, we can only imagine what UFC 101 has in store for us.
Sports betting fans have taken notice of the MMA competition and fallen in love with the UFC main events. UFC’s centennial event in Las Vegas was arguably the greatest pay per view sports betting exhibition ever. To try and follow up on such a monumental occasion is difficult but UFC 101 will no doubt be another spectacular online sports betting extravaganza with a lineup of top notch fighters and plenty of action.
Headlining the fighting action at the sports betting UFC 101 event will be light heavyweight champ BJ Penn. In the top event of the evening the light heavy weight title will at stake when challenger Kenny Florian steps in the ring to attempt to wrest it away from Penn. This will be the match that the fans tune in for, but it might not be the match that the sports betting fans enjoy the most.
Also on the main card is a very enticing sports betting match between Anderson Silva and Forrest Griffin. In the opinion of many online sports betting gurus, this is actually the fight that should be billed as the top event. There is little doubt that Silva is the best fighter in UFC, but he’s looked especially rusty in his last few bouts and he’ll be fighting in the light class, rather than his preferred middle weight. That may be just the edge that Griffin, also a fine fighter, needs to pull off the sports betting upset of the year.
Other sports betting match ups on the main card include: Amir Sadollah vs Johny Hendricks, Kendall Grove cs. Ricardo Almeida and Josh Neer vs Kurt Pellegrino. All and all this is an extraordinary line up of MMA opportunities. If you tuned into the UFC 100 sports betting action and liked what you saw, you’re sure to enjoy this event as well.
