UFC 91 Betting Line: Brock Lesnar vs Randy Couture

Posted on November 12th, 2008 in MMA Betting, UFC Betting Matchups, UFC Odds by admin

UFC 91 betting5 Dimes has just released UFC prop bets and other UFC online betting options for the upcoming UFC 91 Couture vs. Lesnar mixed martial arts MMA fight to determine the UFC heavyweight champion that will take places on November 15, 2008 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

This will be the most anticipated MMA fight in history are former WWE star will bring in the main stream crowd. However, with only 3 pro MMA fight Lesnar is still to young in the game of MMA to beast such an experienced veteran like Randy Couture despite him being 45 years olds.

If you read our MMA handicapping report for this fight we stated

Randy Couture is a smart fighter and a technically better wrestler than Lesnar as he was a three-time Olympic team alternate (1988, 1992 and 1996); a semifinalist at the 2000 Olympic Trials; a three-time National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division-I All-American and a two-time NCAA Division-I runner-up at Oklahoma State University. Lesnar had a great NCAA wrestling career but he never faced the world wide competition than Couture has faced. When it comes to wrestling, people think Lesnar has the advantage but it is Randy that has the advantage and is the better technical fighter. While Lesnar has more raw power and speed, Randy will be able to out wrestle Lesnar if this fight goes to the ground due to his experience. Brock just won’t be able to lay on top of Couture like he did with Heath Herring as his wrestling background will be able to get out of those situations. We have seen Lesnar’s top control game but what about his defense game if Randy is able to gain top control. If Couture is able to get the top control I do not see Lesnar being about to get out.
