The hoopla that has surrounded “UFC 111: St-Pierre vs. Hardy” will finally be coming to an end tonight inside the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. If you’re worried the extravaganza won’t live up to expectations, don’t forget you can lay money on the scraps to make sure your blood is pumping.
After witnessing two heavy underdogs steal the show at “WEC 47: Bowles vs. Cruz,” gamblers have been itching to find where their next big MMA payday will come from.
Although welterweight king Georges St-Pierre is expected to steamroll British slugger Dan Hardy in the evening’s featured bout, dropping perfectly good dough on GSP at -800 might not be the best way to invest your money.
Former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir enters his interim title match with Shane Carwin as a slight favorite (-155) to hand Carwin his first professional blemish. It’s expected that the winner will unify the strap with reigning champ Brock Lesnar later this summer.
