UFC 111 betting has two headline fights on Saturday, March 27th as Georges St. Pierre takes on Dan Hardy for the welterweight title while Frank Mir and Shane Carwin battle for the Interim Heavyweight Championship. St. Pierre is heavily favored in UFC 111 odds against Hardy while Mir is a slight favorite over Carwin.
UFC 111 betting should be very competitive on the bout between Mir and Carwin. Mir is listed as a -160 favorite in UFC 111 odds so the fight is expected to be a good one. The winner of this fight is going to get a shot at Brock Lesnar this summer so a lot is on the line. Mir is the slight favorite because of his experience and his submission skills. Lesnar has said that he hopes Mir wins so he can beat him again. “The guy should focus on the task in front of him which is Shane Carwin because if Shane beats his ass he won’t be fighting me.” Lesnar said, “Hopefully he gets past Shane so I can put another beat down on him. For a guy to take an ass whooping like the one I gave him, for him to get up and keep running his mouth, I just gotta laugh at it.”
Carwin is definitely a fighter who can win as an underdog against Mir. Carwin has yet to lose in his career with 11 wins, all in the first round. The concern for those backing Carwin is that he hasn’t fought anyone. And he definitely hasn’t faced anyone like Mir. People are wondering just how good Carwin is and they should get the answer in UFC 111.
