UFC Betting –Edgar Finally Gets The Best Of Maynard
Posted on 03. Oct, 2011 in Betting Tips
UFC betting players have to be excited for this weekend’s main event at UFC 136 in Houston, which features a pair of championship bouts, but the one that everyone is waiting for is the third in a trilogy. Gray Maynard has yet to lose in his MMA career, but he came up just short in a draw against lightweight champion Frankie Edgar on New Year’s Day. Can he finally take the strap?
UFC Betting – Saturday, 7:00 PM ET
Maynard (10-0-1, 1 NC) may be the biggest fighter in the 155-pound weight class, which he uses to “Bully” his opponents around the octagon (hence his nickname). Maynard isn’t the most technical striker you’d ever hope to see, but he packs a lot of power behind his punches and he almost ended his second fight with Edgar in the first round.
But Edgar (13-1-1) showed why he is rated highly among those who use price per head services as he not only survived Maynard’s first-round flurry, but he also fought back enough that some people felt he deserved the win. Edgar has shown a lot of will in his career and he never thinks he is out of a fight, even prior to his first upset win over former lightweight king B.J. Penn.
The champion comes in as a -150 favorite in this contest, and he’ll be cautious of the power of Maynard, who is listed at +120. Edgar has a more balanced attack and is adept at sticking to a gameplan, and this time, he’ll finally avenge the only loss of his MMA career. Bet on Frankie Edgar in your online wagering book.
