It's only fitting that the UFC 116 betting competition will occur in Las Vegas as this is practically the birthplace of UFC betting.
On Saturday night (July third) most of the sports gambling community will be tuned in on pay-per-view to see UFC betting odds contest and ultimately 1 of the most exciting heavyweight title competitions in UFC gambling history. That may sound like nonsense but nothing might be further from the reality.
There are certainly MMA gambling fans and even sports fans in general seeking to gamble on the UFC 116 probabilities who definitely disagree with the above claim but when you look at all the facts and take under consideration the media exposure and the influence of the personality of the competitors involved as well as the lack of interest in the heavyweight division in recent years it's difficult to overestimate the influence of the UFC 116 gambling main event.
Interim heavyweight Champion Shane Carwin is a solid contender. How excellent? Well, it's difficult to say but he can claim to be the undisputed champion, the greatest of the very greatest in the MMA heavyweight gambling, if he defeats the current Heavyweight Champion, Brock Lesnar, in the UFC 116 gambling main event. Carwin has won 7 of his competitions via knockouts and five via submission, and he has never gotten from the 1st round. And there'd be no debating that truth.
But the fact of the matter is the majority of UFC 116 odds makers trust the Lesnar will take this bout and if he is triumphant in this UFC 116 betting competition he'll launch to MMA betting stardom and legitimize his right to the UFC Heavyweight Title.
For Lesnar a victory in Las Vegas in his forthcoming UFC betting competition would not only legitimize his right to the belt that plenty of sports betting fans think has been handed to him, - after just 5 competitions simply based on his reputation as opposed to his capability - it could furthermore vindicate him in the face of the naysayers who have disbelieved his MMA fighting skills.
For the UFC, a Lesnar win would be major. Actually the UFC 116 betting competition might turn out to be a watershed time in the history of the UFC. If Lesnar unifies the belts he'll be the 1st mainstream celebrity in UFC gambling history and he may just be the celebrity vehicle that the sport needs to broaden its appeal among sports gambling fans, which really would be a enormous achievement for the UFC.
But Lesnar has been away from the octagon for close to a year, and that's never a solid thing, specifically when you look at that he also lost more than 40 pounds. He's been declared healthy enough to head back into the ring and take on Carwin though his recent nightmare competition with diverticulitis close to killed him. Nonetheless, even the smallest hesitation on Lesnar's part will probably be a major disadvantage against the man who is ended all 12 of his bouts in the first round.
