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.
