Dana White knows how to get UFC<\/span> betting<\/a> fans on their feet. A month before the UFC<\/span> 100 blowout, he sets up a card in Germany<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:COUNTRY-REGION> full of aggressive, exciting fighters. Let’s make some UFC<\/span> 99 betting picks.<\/p>\n

Rich Franklin (26-4) vs<\/span> Wanderlei<\/span> Silva (32-9-1)
<\/b>UFC<\/span> odds: Franklin -140, Silva +110<\/p>\n

Don’t take a bathroom break during this main UFC<\/span> betting event, as both Franklin and Silva love to finish fights. With his recent losses to Anderson Silva and Dan Henderson, Franklin<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY> has become underrated. He’s still a powerful, exciting fighter with an<\/span> better ground game than many fight fans realize. He faces one of the most intimidating fighters ever to grace the octagon in Wanderlei<\/span> Silva, the vicious Muay<\/span> Thai striker. Silva may have had the edge a few years ago, but he has lots of mileage on his body and seems to have lost a step (YouTube<\/span> his UFC<\/span> 92 fight against Rampage Jackson and you’ll see what I mean). Franklin<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY> is fresher and a bit more versatile, so he should win this one, though it will be a war.<\/p>\n

Sports wagering<\/a> pick: Franklin<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY> -140<\/p>\n

Cain Velasquez (5-0) vs<\/span> Cheick<\/span> Kongo<\/span> (<\/b>24-4-1<\/b><\/st1:DATE>)<\/b><\/span>
<\/b>UFC<\/span> odds: Velasquez -200, Kongo<\/span> +160<\/p>\n

Is Velasquez ready for superstardom? The deadly kickboxing\/wrestling double threat has wowed those who bet on sports early in his career, opening with five straight knockouts. His previous opponents pale in comparison to powerful Cheick<\/span> Kongo<\/span>, a kickboxer<\/span> with a strong chin and brutal ground-and-pound skills. Velasquez is certainly the better long term bet, but I’m not sure he’s ready for this challenge. Kongo<\/span> offers good value and may pull off the upset.<\/p>\n

Sports wagering<\/a> pick: Kongo<\/span> +160<\/p>\n

Marcus Davis (21-5) vs<\/span> Dan Hardy (21-6)<\/span>
<\/b>UFC<\/span> odds: Davis<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY> -220, Hardy +180<\/p>\n

Here’s my candidate for fight of the night. Davis, the Irish-American boxer, clashes with Hardy, the English boxer. There’s been plenty of trash talk entering this one, and you can expect a brawl here. Both fighters like to stand up and trade blows but, contrary to what many UFC<\/span> odds<\/a> fans believe, Davis<\/st1:PLACE><\/st1:CITY> is capable on the ground. He’s fought tougher competition than Hardy in his career and should teach the brash Englishman a lesson. Both fighters have major knockout power, though, so anything can happen. Don’t expect this one to go the distance!<\/p>\n
