UFC odds fans have been waiting another glimpse of the former UFC betting odds champ BJ Penn.
Always one of the most electric fighters in the sport it’s been over half a year since he got his brains beat in by UFC betting champ Georges St-Pierre, aka GSP. During that time fans have wondered what kind of fighter he’ll be when he steps back in the ring and they’ll get find out in UFC 101 Declaration betting event.
UFC odds makers and fans were beside themselves for the GSP-Penn fight back in January in what were billed as the biggest UFC betting odds ever. But for fans who put money on the UFC odds in favor of Penn, they had to be sorely disappointed as he was beaten senseless by GSP. In his first trip back to competitive fighting some UFC betting odds pundits at the sportsbook are wondering if he’ll ever be the same fighter –so bad was the beating back in January’s UFC odds.
At 31 years old the former UFC odds champ best days are likely behind him and there’s plenty of people who will likely bet against him in the UFC betting odds. For Penn that’s likely just more motivation to go out and climb his way back up the contender ladder. After all, he’s not likely to get too many more shots at the belt and he’ll have make the most of UFC betting odds matches from here on out.
His opponent is 33-year old Kenny Florian who although being older, has much less experience than Penn, and this reflects in the UFC odds. With a career record of 11-3 Florian has become accustomed to winning and winning in the UFC odds with efficiency. He’s known as a master of the submission moves and is especially well-known for his elbow blows which can be lethal, and have caught more than a few UFC odds fighters off guard.
Physically, the two fighters are well matched and their two styles should create a good fight, according to the sportsbook sites. Penn is much more the aggressive fighter and the better with his hands, whereas ‘Kenflo’ is more patient and willing to let the action come to him. Florian also enters this UFC odds event on six bout winning streak, his last loss coming to Sean Sherk, and opponent that Penn has beaten in the past.
This is a must-win fight for Penn. Expect him emerge in the UFC odds with a TKO early or risk losing in a fight that goes full time.
