UFC 116 Wagering Breakdown: After Main Event, Card Is Lean On Competitions
On Saturday July third, the MFM Grand Garden Arena will be packed to the gills as this location will play host to the UFC betting competition.
And save for a few family members and friends of the various competitors involved in the UFC 116 odds competition, almost anyone in the building will be there to make MMA bets on one single competition. And as if anybody needs a tip as to which match in the UFC 116 betting line up that individuals are dying to see, it is the match that involves the two largest men in the building: Brock Lesnar and Shane Carwin.
It may not be enough, no matter how much buzz this UFC betting Main Event gets. And that’s not due to the fact of the talent of the competitors involved (admittedly, both of the enormous men lack the general all-around MMA abilities that most UFC wagering winners have got) but simply considering they’re enormous individuals. Even if they lack the grace of the lighter competitors, the sports betting public to watch heavyweights beat each other senseless. There’s a major chance that all of the hype will result in about two minutes of fighting.
Carwin has never gotten out of the 1st round, winning 7 of his bouts via knockouts and 5 by means of submission. And while Lesnar has a pretty impressive history, he just came from a near-death experience. A fight with a serious illness that kept him to a hospital bed, not able to even eat for two weeks, kept him out of the ring for a number of months. In fact, this bout is in fact a rescheduling of a match between Lesnar and Carwin that was meant to happen last year.
And the UFC betting public additionally adores stars. There is no star bigger than Lesnar right now in the MMA wagering action. Lesnar is the uncommon MMA fighter that has general pop culture stardom and a pretty high level of skill inside the Octagon. Plenty of sports betting enthusiasts have been drawn to this UFC 116 gambling event by his superstar alone.
But soon after this Main Event between these 2 huge men, the fight card, or at least the UFC 116 odds action, is pretty slim pickings. Peppered throughout the remainder of the Main Card there are names here and there of competitors that MMA gambling fanatics have almost certainly heard of, or maybe even viewed combat a more well known contender in some other UFC wagering events, but for the most part this is about as lackluster collection of competitions as we’ve viewed at a UFC gambling event this year.
The UFC 116 betting game between Japanese new-comer Yoshihiro Akiyama and Chris Leben is the only other bout that genuinely sparks any interest. Akiyama is a big MMA celebrity in Asia and his fighting pedigree is impeccable. He has the likelihood to become a major star in the UFC betting competition but his adversary, Chris Leben, hardly seems up to the task.
Lesnar versus Carwin will occur live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
