Looking at the UFC<\/span> 103 fight card<\/a>, we don’t see any title matches, but it’s clear the the<\/span> UFC<\/span> talent pool is deepening. The card features four or five solid fights; let’s make some picks for Koscheck<\/span>\/Trigg and Griffin\/Franca.<\/p>\n

Josh Koscheck<\/span> (12-4) vs<\/span> Frank Trigg (19-6)<\/span>
<\/span><\/b>UFC<\/span> 103 betting odds: Koscheck<\/span> -400, Trigg +300<\/p>\n

Frank Trigg siting<\/span>! After four years away from the UFC<\/span>, Trigg returns to the Octagon. While he never rose above No. 1 contender status in the UFC<\/span>\u2014he lost two title fights to Matt Hughes and got his clock cleaned by Georges St-Pierre\u2014he was always a solid fighter. Trigg combined boxing with solid wrestling and submission skills. Now 37 years old, hes<\/span>‘ a big underdog against Josh Koscheck<\/span>, one of the sport’s best wrestlers. Koscheck<\/span> is a great athlete capable of learning new skills quickly; when he brutalized Yoshiyuki Yoshida last December, he showcased newfound knockout power. Since Trigg (a) will be rusty (b) is old and (c) typically struggles against good wrestlers, he’s in big trouble against Koscheck<\/span>. don’t<\/span> expect any miracles when you make your picks.<\/p>\n

Betting services<\/a> recommend: Koscheck<\/span> -400<\/p>\n

Tyson Griffin (13-2) vs<\/span> Hermes Franca (<\/span><\/b>19-7)
UFC<\/span> 103 betting<\/a> odds: Griffin -300, Franca +240<\/p>\n

Saturday night could be a breakthrough night for one of the UFC’s<\/span> most underrated lightweights. Tyson Griffin, a strong wrestler with crisp striking, gets it done pretty much every time he fights. He’s never been stopped and some fight fans\u2014myself<\/span> included\u2014thought he beat Sean Sherk<\/span>, so he could easily be 14-1. Hermes Franca isn’t an easy opponent as he’s a submission specialist who can flash knockout power too, but <\/span><\/font>Griffin<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> can handle him. He’s younger, stronger and eager to climb the ladder. Bet on Griffin<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> to win a battle of fighters with potent offensive skills. <\/p>\n

Betting services recommend: Griffin<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> -300<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
