MARIUSZ PUDZIANOWSKI VS TIM SYLVIA LATEST ODDS AND BETTING TIPS
You've got to respect a guy for fighting two high-profile MMA matches in the space of something like two weeks. World's Strongest Man Mariusz Pudzianowski is stepping into the ring once again to battle former UFC fighter Tim Sylvia at the DCU Center in Worcester, Massachusetts.
I've been to Worcester, Mass and let me assure you- it's a fantastic spot to watch two guys fight. In fact, you'd go so far as to say that's really all that goes on in a dump like Worcester. The two heavyweights are facing off as the Main Event in Moosin: God of Martial Arts.
This will also be Pudzianowski's first US-based fight and you can tell that he is attempting to build his brand in North America and, if all goes according to plan over the next year or so, is going to be looking to take on the biggest heavyweights in the business- namely Brock Lesnar.
Mariusz Pudzianowski's odds to beat Tim Sylvia are fairly long, so anybody looking to back the Polish Powerhouse can secure some very solid prices. He is currently trading on Betfair at a 2.6 price and I suspect those odds could drift even higher by the time you read this.
You'll find Tim Sylvia's odds to win listed at 1.55 and there's a decent amount of volume on this market already so you can rest assured that the odds likely won't swing around too much. Sylvia reportedly has a game plan for this one and he's likely going to play defense for most of the fight.
Method of victory betting is available, but the market isn't particularly developed so the odds aren't really that inspiring. Be sure to check it out closer to fight as the odds will be a bit more solid. Currently they favour Sylvia by KO or TKO while pricing Pudzianowski at even money to win by KO/TKO or submission. He is paying 3.0 to win by decision and I think thats more likely than a submission victory for the giant Pole.
Personally, I think that Sylvia will have learned a thing or two from Pudz's underwhelming fight against Yusuke Kawaguchi where he completely ran out of gas and managed to just cling on to win a somewhat controversial decision. A win over Sylvia would do a lot for his presence in the United States and I can see this one going in either direction. I think somebody's getting knocked out here tonight.
