Frankie Edgar +165

Betting Tips on UFC 150


Edgar vs Henderson

Ben Henderson is proving to everyone he is the best and he has a great jiu jitsu game that quite honestly make his fights almost a little boring. At -190 this isn't the best price but Edgar is a great striker but really struggles to finish guys off and don't think this will happen against Henderson.

Pick: Henderson

Guillard vs Cerrone

Clearly Cerrone is the favorite in this fight but at -300 we feel this is a risky bet to take. Perhaps at -250 or less would this be worth the value.

Shields vs Herman

This will probably be a boring fight but that lies up to Jake Shields. At -195 this is still a very good price considering by how much of a favorite he is.

Pick: Shields

UFC 148 Odds: Sonnen vs Silva

Anderson Silva takes on Chael Sonnen in a rematch for the Middle Weight title. 


Chael Sonnen is the only fighter who has had a legitimate chance to beat Anderson Silva. Sonnen was 1 round away from beating Silva when Silva use his ground game to submit Sonnen. Previous to that fight, Silva seemed invincible as he just walked over all opponents who struggled to be able to hit the fighter.

After their last fight, Sonnen had to take a year off for failing a drug test so even if he won, the win would have been nullified due to steroids. So the questions on everyone's mind is will Sonnen be anywhere near as effective as he was last time on steroids or did Silva learn enough in the last fight and will be more prepared? Or will Sonnen be better and hungrier than before?

Odds at BetOnline


Sonnen +243
Silva -288

So maybe this fight is a coin toss and Sonnen has a decent chance of winning. If you think Sonnen has a 40% chance of winning the fight, take Sonnen to win at +243 for a value bet.

Betting Tips UFC 148

Underdogs sometimes can give you a good payout on average depending on the situation. When the public strongly feels someone is going to win without taking certain factors into consideration then you will have an advantage on betting.

Silva - Sonnen: This is a tough one. Sonnen nearly beat Silva in their last fight but then tested positive for steroids, no wonder why Sonnen looked so good. After a 1 year ban expect Sonnen to not be on the juice anymore. If that is the case I think Silva has learned from his last fight how to handle Sonnen.
Pick: Silva

Griffin - Ortiz: Another tough call. If it was -250 for Griffin I'd say pick him for the sure shot but at -300 the price is too steep. Griffin should be able to overpower Ortiz and I wouldn't pick Ortiz unless the odds were +300.
Pick: Avoid the bet

Franklin - Le: Yet another tough fight to pick. Le nearly beat Wanderlei Silva and most of Le's fights usually see him dominating with his opponents having a tough time figuring out how to fight them. Franklin probably has the edge but at +290 for Le this is an easy pick.
Pick: Le

Dos Santos vs Frank Mir UFC 146

Junior Dos Santos takes on challenger Frank Mir in UFC 146 in Las Vegas on Saturday May 26th. Dos Santos is the UFC heavyweight champion and was supposed to take on Alastair Overeem but Overeem "Overoids" failed a drug test for steroids and is just out of the picture completely. Who would have thought that Alaistair was on 'roids!

Frank Mir has been the champion a few times before but finally the heavyweight division is filled with decent fighters, perhaps not as good as the light heavyweight division but it is close enough. For Frank to beat Dos Santos would be a huge statement for Mir. He is somewhat lucky to have the opportunity to fight for the title but he is also a worthy challenger as well. There are other heavyweights that want a crack at the title and who knows who is going to end up with the title.

Dos Santos goes into the fight as the favourite and is considered the better striker while Mir is known better for his ground game and brazilian jiu-jitsu skills. If Mir tries to exchange boxing with Dos Santos the fight will be over very shortly and Mir is probably smart enough to know better. Expect Mir to go for take downs and submissions.

Frank Mir & Junior Dos Santos Odds

Frank Mir +430
Junior Dos Santos -525

Betting tip on this fight: Dos Santos is a favourite but pick Mir for the upset for the big payout especially if you think Mir has a 1/3 chance of winning.
