UFC 99 BETTING TIPS

UFC 99 kicks off tomorrow and there's a really solid card and a widely-anticipated main event between Rich Franklin and Wanderlei Silva. Paddy Power has every fight, including the entire undercard, available for outright betting with the four feature bouts enhanced with two extra markets- method of victory and will it go the distance?One great thing about Paddy Power is their incredible assortment of combination bets. You can bet on every single fight using enhanced multiples and keep your layout small, but your potential payoffs massive. Take advantage of the 247-bet Goliath with 3 cents a line and you're looking at a sweet payday. MARCUS DAVIS VS DAN HARDYMarcus Davis is the slim favourite to win this battle with Dan Hardy and he carries a 4/7 price against Hardy's 5/4. Calling the method of victory is going to be tough with Davis by KO, Davis on points and Hardy on points all listed at 7/2. The most likely method of victory seems to be Davis by submission at 10/3. The fight is not favoured to go the distance with no backed at 1/2 and yes sitting at 3/2. CAIN VELAZQUEZ VS CHEICK KONGOAs the 8/15 favourite, Cain Velazquez is a pretty solid bet against Cheick Kongo and the bookies are absolutely positive that this one will be an out-and-out slugfest. Velazquez by KO is 3/2 with Kongo by KO just behind at 2/1. This will be a stand-up battle and could potentially be finished in a single round. There is no chance of this one going the distance with no at 2/7 and yes at 9/4. MIKE SWICK VS BEN SAUNDERSMike Swick is a big favourite to beat Ben Saunders, but I have a feeling that this one could go down to the decision. I think they're fairly equally-matched and it could be a slower battle than some of the others on the card. Swick is at 1/2 for the outright win while Saunders carries a 6/5 price. Swick by KO, Swick on Points and Saunders by KO are all listed at 3/1. Saunders on points is 9/2 with Swick by submission at 4/1. The fight going the distance pays 3/2 and I think that's a good bet. The No option pays 1/2. RICH FRANKLIN VS WANDERLEI SILVAThe main event features Rick Franklin taking on Wanderlei Silva and this one could be a difficult puzzle to solve for the UFC faithful. I think this one will definitely last a few rounds and could result in a hefty payout should it go the distance. Both fighters on points have generous prices with Franklin at 10/3 and Silva at 11/2. Franklin by KO pays 2/1 with Silva by KO sitting at 15/8. Silva by submission is 12/1 with Franklin just ahead at 11/1. In terms of the outright betting, Franklin is at 4/6 with Silva listed at 11/10. VERDICTDavis by submissionVelazques by KOSaunders on pointsFranklin by KO
