Your offshore sportsbook has him as the solid favorite, and he could have the betting edge as his opponent struggles to make weight.<o

[FONT=&quot]UFC 100 Odds – Saturday, July 11, 9:00 PM ET<o></o>[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]GSP (18-2) has won his last five matches, and he can win in a variety of different ways as two came by TKO, two came by decision, and one came via a submission. His last fight at UFC 94, a win over B.J. Penn, came under some controversy due to Vaseline on GSP’s shoulders, but it wouldn’t have mattered as he dominated Penn from the beginning of the fight. GSP is arguably the top pound-for-pound fighter in the world, and if he wins this, a very lucrative match with Anderson Silva could be in the works by the end of the year.<o

[FONT=&quot]Alves (16-3) has come away victorious in his last seven bouts, and five of those have come by TKO, which is one reason that betting management players should consider him. However, word is that Alves is in a race to make the 170-pound weight by Saturday, which could sap some of his energy as well as change the way he trains for the fight. This happened to Alves once before, when he was due to fight Matt Hughes for the welterweight championship at UFC 85. The title wasn’t up for grabs because he failed to make weight, but he was all over Hughes, who many consider to be the best welterweight in the history of the UFC.<o

[FONT=&quot]UFC 100 odds have GSP as a -260 favorite in this welterweight showdown if you’re making sports picks, and the key to this fight will be his versatility. GSP’s striking has improved by leaps and bounds since he began in the UFC, and we all know about his superb wrestling abilities. Alves will have to demonstrate the takedown defense that served him so well against Hughes, but it is his punching power that should concern GSP, who will try to take this fight to the ground. Give the betting edge to GSP in a fight which should go the distance.<o
