UFC 138 Las Vegas Gambling Odds: Mark Munoz and Chris Leben

Middleweight contenders are not as common in the UFC as they once were. Division champion Anderson Silva has gone through most of them already, but one fighter is climbing up the ladder at a rapid pace. Mark Munoz will look to get one step closer to his title shot with a win over UFC veteran Chris Leben at UFC 138 in Birmingham, England this Saturday night.

Munoz is a former NCAA champion wrestler who has heavy hands and a desire to finish his fights in spectacular fashion. Currently on a three-fight win streak, Munoz certainly has the proper skills to give Chris Leben a hard time in the Octagon. As the Bodog Sportsbook -260 favorite, oddsmakers (and most MMA betting fans) seem to believe that Leben will not be able to handle the wrestling skills and ground-and-pound of his younger opponent.

Leben is an experienced fighter that has improved in many ways over the last couple of years. His takedown defense is much better than it once was, and more importantly he seems to have dealt with many of the personal demons he once had. Despite a puncher’s chance to win Leben has been handicapped as a +200 underdog at the Bodog Sportsbook.

Leben will need to keep the fight standing if he is to have his best chance to win, but even if he does keep the fight off the ground Munoz will pose a threat to land a big strike. If Munoz can get the fight on the ground Leben will be at a big disadvantage and will need to get to his feet as soon as possible. However this fight plays out, MMA fans will be in for a treat when these two start throwing down on Saturday night.
