The UFC 99 betting odds for the fight between Mike Swick and Ben Saunders are guaranteed to garner lots of attention because both fighters are widely recognized from appearances on The Ultimate Fighter television show.
Veterans of the UFC odds realize that this program has featured some of the world’s top MMA fighters, and these two are no exception. The early UFC betting odds reflect Swick as a fairly heavy favorite and most bettors will probably back him in the betting odds, even though Saunders is currently undefeated.
The UFC 99 betting odds feature Swick as the favored fighter in this matchup due to his more extensive experience within the octagon, where he boasts a very impressive 13-2 record. Moreover, those who look at Swick’s history against the UFC odds will realize that he has lost only once in his last nine fights. In other words, Swick has long offered excellent value against the UFC odds and it is doubtful that such a streak will end with the betting odds. Swick is primarily a kickboxer, but he is also known for ruthless submission holds, such as his trademark ‘Swickitine’ choke.
Swick’s fairly successful stint on The Ultimate Fighter has unquestionably made him quite popular among many UFC fans, and some fans likely will wager on him in the UFC 99 betting odds simply due to this popularity. It is possible that such popularity may actually skew the UFC 99 betting odds and lead to the UFC 99 betting odds featuring Swick as a larger favorite than his skills warrant, but generally there remains agreement that Swick is a better fighter than his opponent.
Nevertheless, Saunders will still certainly attract attention within the UFC 99 betting odds. In fact, Saunders remains undefeated with a 7-0-2 record in which the seven wins come from his last seven fights. In other words, Saunders has consistently offered value against the UFC odds, and some fans believe he will continue to offer value in the UFC 99 betting odds. Saunders has a background in Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do style of martial arts, and Saunders is skilled at attacking with kicks and knees.
Nevertheless, Saunders does not have quite as much experience within the octagon as does Swick, and Saunders also missed his previously scheduled fight due to an injured foot. Consequently, even though Saunders definitely cannot be counted out, his value in the UFC 99 betting odds is questionable and many MMA fans will likely prefer to back his Ultimate Fighter counterpart when wagering on the UFC 99 betting odds.
