Well the time has come for UFC 75. I’m very excited to see Rampage and Henderson go at it, and I really think there’s gonna be some gems on this card.
UFC 75 – Saturday, September 8th at 2PM
Anthony Torres (-115) vs. Jess Liaudin (-115)
- There seems to be a large amount of people betting on Liaudin in this bout. For a fight that’s not very popular, it strikes me as a weird spot for so many people to be backing someone at -115. Torres looks to be the play in this situation.
My bet : 2.3 units to win 2 units on Torres at -115 (odds at Bodog )
Naoyuki Kotani (-200) vs. Dennis Siver (+160)
- This is a great spot for Kotani, and I really think he is way undervalued in this bout. I was figuring this line to be about -250 or more. This is a good play and a great value play all in one.
My bet : 6 Units on Kotani to win 3 units at -200 (odds at Bodog )
Cheick Kongo (+300) vs. Mirko Cro Cop (-450)
- Kongo is an amazing striker, and at +300 I have to make a play on him. When someone is great at striking, and they are a big underdog, you are getting good value due to the chance that they win with one shot
My bet : One half of a unit (.5) at +300 on Kongo (odds at Bodog )
Other thoughts
- I like Henderson in the big bout, but I probably wont bet on that fight
- This card was a bit tougher to gauge due to the fact that it was so close to the last fight, and there isn’t much talk going on about the event.
- This event being on Spike TV should bring a bunch of new viewers to the UFC.
You can bet these fights at Bodog and BetUS.com.
Here’s to this event going much better for us than the last. Post your comments and your picks in the comments…
