UFC betting fans are back with another set of MMA odds to dissect, and here at Cappers Info, we’re all set to take a look at our UFC 134 picks!
UFC 134 Preview
Date/Time: Saturday, August 23rd, 9:00 ET
Location: HSBC Arena, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Yushin Okami (+400) vs. Anderson Silva (-500) at SportBet.com: There’s just a point that we have to realize that the better fighter is going to win this one. Silva has already lost to Okami in his career, but it was only via disqualification. You can bet that, especially fighting in Brazil in this one, that Silva is going to get every beneficial borderline call if there is one needed, and if that’s the case, Okami definitely has his work cut out for him. The Brazilian star has been taking down everything in his path over the course of the last four years, and there is just no sign of relenting at this point. He has won 14 fights in a row. Make it 15 on Saturday night. UFC 134 Silva vs. Okami Pick: Silva by knockout
Forrest Griffin (+195) vs. Mauricio Rua (-235) at SportBet.com: An interesting fight for certain. Rua definitely has the pedigree and the home field advantage on his side fighting here in Rio, but we just aren’t so sure that that is enough to make him this significant of a favorite. Griffin has already upset Rua once, winning back in 2007 via submission. Since that point, these two have both taken on some of the best fighters in the world, and they have both had mixed results. Rua just recently lost the Light Heavyweight Championship to Jon Jones, while Griffin has been working his way up the ladder by taking care of Tito Ortiz and Rich Franklin in recent UFC’s. Don’t be shocked if the American comes out with a very unpopular decision on his side on Saturday night. UFC 134 Griffin vs. Rua Pick: Griffin by Unanimous Decision
