Here is a look at this feature bout between Mir and Kongo.UFC odds have Mir favored but Kongo is not without a chance. Mir has said that he intends to trade shots with Kongo in this fight and that might be a dangerous way to go. Mir has really not been known in UFC odds as a great striker. Kongo on the other hand is a very good striker and simply stronger than Mir. The way for Mir to win in UFC 107 betting is to get this fight to the ground since Kongo does not have a strong ground game. If Mir stays to his plan and trades punches with Kongo he could be upset in UFC 107 betting.
Mir is favored in UFC odds because he has the better overall game than Kongo but if he gets into an ego contest and starts to trade punches he cold lose this fight. “I think the advantage of being well rounded is not having to force anything. As long as we’re boxing with each other, I feel very comfortable against Cheick Kongo.” Mir said, “Obviously I don’t want to eat one of his knees, so I probably will try to strike with him a lot because if I just try to dive at him there’s always a chance of taking one of those.”
