There is some controversy about the UFC 100 MMA Event that is coming up on July 11th.  The UFC has been promoting this fight as the biggest UFC Event in history.  The UFC has shown amazing growth in the last 16 years.  The popularity of these MMA matches continues to grow feeding the undeniable thirst for raw combat that has long excited something deep down inside us. 

The controversy stems from the fact that the UFC decided to place the Brock Lesnar/Frank Mir fight as the main attraction.  Many UFC fighters have spent years polishing their craft and have spilt many blood and tears to get to this competitive level.  Brock Lesnar, a former pro wrestler, comes into this fight with a 2-1 UFC record.  He has already lost to Frank Mir.  Even so Brock did win the Heavyweight Championship when he defeated Randy Contour.

Regardless of what many believe the fact remains that Brock Lesnar is a huge PPV draw and that will cause many fans to tune in and pay the big bucks to see if he can live up to this honor.  The Betting Online seems to show that Brock is slightly favored to win.  However, this fight is by no means a shoe in. 

There are those who think Frank Mir got lucky in the first fight.  Still others think that Lesnar was given some kind of special treatment by getting to fight for a championship with a 1-1 record and very raw MMA experience.  Although Brock defeated Randy in the twilight of his career he still has much to prove to MMA fans.  You can visit now at http://www.sportsbookgazette.com/live_odds.php to see what is going on.

Many UFC enthusiasts thought that the fight between Georges St. Pierre and Thiago Alves should have been the main event.  St. Pierre has proven himself to be a true UFC champion and Alves is an excellent contender for Georges Welterweight Championship belt.  Although St. Pierre is heavily favored in this one don’t let the odds control your thinking.  Anything will be possible in this one.  In other fights Dan Henderson is favored over Michael Bisping in the middleweight division.  Stephan Bonnar is also heavily favored to beat Mark Coleman in the Light Heavyweight bout.

You can always get the best odds and picks right here at the Sportsbook Gazette.  Once you separate all the hype around UFC 100 there is no doubt some of these fights will be pure war.  However, determining if it rates as the biggest UFC event of all time, I don’t know if I would take those odds.  Until we meet again good betting and remember to always be a good sport.
