UFC 101 Picks and UFC Betting Predictions: The Vegassharps.com fight picks team of experts have broken down the main events of UFC 101 and have a couple of bankroll busting plays for all you MMA nuts to get rich off. In the co-main event between B.J Penn vs. Kenny Florian the Vegas Sharps crew is leaning heavily on the side of Penn. B.J Penn’s stock took a nosedive after being manhandled by Georges St. Pierre in his last fight and was originally listed as a modest -145 favorite. UFC 101 Picks And UFC Betting Predictions have Anderson Silva as a -260 UFC betting favorite at Sportsbook.com.

 Kenny Florian is a well-rounded  MMA fighter with some dangerous elbow strikes and an above-average ground game but he is not on the same level as Penn. B.J Penn is a UFC veteran that knows how to box standing up very-well, is extremely durable and has a superior ground game to Florian. The style match-up for Florian is all wrong and Vegas Sharps recommends going heavy on Penn with a 5 UNIT play.

In the UFC 101 main event for the light-heavyweight championship between Anderson Silva vs. Forrest Griffin Vegassharps.com is siding with the oddsmakers in picking Silva.  Anderson Silva is a freak of nature that seems to have no apparent weakness as a fighter.

Forrest Griffin is an exciting UFC fighter that has plenty of heart and strength but he is a B level fighter facing an A+ level fighter. Silva should  be able to gain his 10th straight UFC victory over the bigger man in Griffin. Vegas Sharps experts are recommending a 2 UNIT play on Anderson Silva to retain his UFC light-heavyweight title. Griffin has an outside chance of pulling off the upset with his size advantage but Silva is still the much more reliable play.
