UFC 116 Gambling: Soszynski against Bonnar

Contrary to popular belief there’s more the impending UFC 116 betting competition than the Main Event between heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar and challenger Shane Carwin.

You can be pardoned for thinking that the UFC 116 odds matchups did not extend past these heavyweight bruisers as this Main Event game has been getting all the hype for the UFC 116 mma fight betting competition for weeks.

But there are plenty of great UFC 116 odds opportunities in sports betting and several other pretty great matchups on the Main Card. One pretty fascinating MMA betting opportunity is the light heavyweight game between Krzystof Sosyznski and Stephan Bonnar.

When the UFC 116 gambling competition finally gets underway in Las Vegas on July third most of the interest and the MMA gambling money will be on Lesnar and Carwin and that ought to only produce further online gambling opportunities on matches like the Soszynski-Bonnar matchup.

Neither of these fighters is all that great and some UFC betting fanatics could even question why fighters of their standing would be included on a UFC betting Main Event card. These two men should beat the hell out of each other and, if not a portrait of great fighting abilities, it ought to be bloody knockout battle to the death, despite the fact that they could not be all that skilled (a combined history of 37-20).

Soszynski comes into the UFC 116 gambling competition with a career history of 19-9, seven of those wins coming by KO and four of those losses coming by KO. That means the possibility of his UFC 116 odds encounter with Bonnar is pretty likely to end a KO as well, and that is what MMA gambling fanatics love to see.

Bonnar is not all that different of a competitor. His career MMA gambling history is a sloppy 18-11. Only two of those wins have come by KO and only two of losses have come by KO. However this guy can take a punch.

UFC 110, where Soszynski got the better of Bonnar and the competition was called as a result of doctor stoppage, was the most recent time these two fighters met up in the UFC betting competition. Due to a cut he gained after Soszynski headbutted him, Bonnar was stopped in the third round. A proud Bonnar wanted to carry on the competition, however the combination of referee and doctor cut short his plans that night. He basically did not consider such a small cut to be a show-stopper. His largest issue with the competition was the decision that announced Soszynski the winner that night. Despite it being apparent to everybody in attendance and at home, Soszysnki’s accidental headbutt was overlooked and Bonnar was handed a stoppage loss.

Buffs can anticipate the same sort of bloody, knockdown, drag-out competition as the first matchup between these as they get back into the Octagon for the UFC 116 betting competition.

On July third, UFC 116 is timetabled at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Do not forget to check out the remainder of the fight betting action on the card for UFC 116.
