UFC 90 Betting is Full of Underdogs
At UFC 90 there are a number of good underdog bets to make this weekend. The staff here have concluded that this might be the biggest underdog winners in UFC history. One of the biggest slips by the online sportsbook odds makers at this mixed martial arts event is the fight between Thiago Alves and Josh Koscheck.
When lines first opened up Alves was a -155 betting favorite but a lot of money has been placed on Koscheck and he went form a +115 underdog to -165 betting favorite. I have never seen lines move like this before for MMA.
In any case this should be win for online UFC bettors as the public seems to love those TUF. Don’t think the general public puts ANY thought into the fact that this is a short notice fight that has Koscheck had been training for a entirely different type of MMA fighter where Alves only needs to tweak his preparation just a bit since Diego Sanchez & Josh Koscheck have similar fighting styles.
I highly recommend a large play on Thiago Alves who is bigger stronger and has more skills that Koscheck in this fight. Please read our UFC handicapping report for this fight
For the brave bettors you can always go the long shot with a bet on Cote to beat Anderson Silva. Just a small play will pay out a huge return. We are actually making a small play on Silva. Nothing to dent the rent check but to us it is worth a sniff. Matt Serra anyone?
Rich Clementi is a more season MMA fighter than Gray Maynard and he is a pretty large dog at +190. Read the full UFC preview report for this fight.
Also on our betting radar is the underdog pick for Shannon Gugerty to beat Spencer Fisher. Fisher is a bigger name so people know who he is but Shannon Gugerty is 11 and 2 and a City Boxing product fighter and Fisher is a Miletich Martial Arts. Frankly I think Miletich fighters do not hold the same prestige as they once did. Gugerty can fight on the ground and has technically good boxing skills while Fisher is a brawler that puts on a good show. At +275 at most sportsbook I would lay a fair chunk on Shannon Gugerty.
Marcus Aurelio use to be a top ten lightweight fighter and still has the potential to crack the top ten again. On the ground he is a much better fighter than Hermes Franca and this will be a ground fight. Franca has better hands but not enough power to KO Aurelio. At +160 this is another great dog pick to make.
Out last recommend underdog pick for UFC 90 is for Pete Sell to beat Josh Burkman. We have never like Burkman as a fighter and he gets a lot of betting juice because Burkman was a contestant on the Ultimate Fighter 2. Technically Burkaman is a better ground fighter despite Sell being a is a black belt under teacher and fellow mixed martial artist Matt Serra in East Meadow, New York, but Sell has overwhelming knock out power.
At +180 bet on lot of Pete Sell to win this fight

Georges St Pierre can now add another accomplishment to his career and one than many of us can attain and hope to attain. GSP is no among the ranks of very few and is now the proud owner of a black belt in Brazilian Jui Jitsu.
