Kenny Florian vs Joe Lauzon Betting Odds | Bet on Florian vs Lauzon
|
As mentioned, the UFC Fight Night 13 card is completely stacked from top to bottom. The main event of this card, which will be shown for free on Spike TV April 2nd, will feature Kenny Florian vs Joe "J-Lau" Lauzon.
Kenny Florian is currently a -200 favorite to win this fight, and Lauzon is a +160 underdog. This means that you would need to bet $200 on Florian to win in order to make $100 profit, whereas a $100 bet on Lauzon would net you a $160 profit.
Florian currently has a professional MMA record of 7-3-0. Six of his victories have come via submission, and one has come via knockout. Florian has never been knocked out, having lost via knockout once and decision twice.
Florian made his UFC debut in The Ultimate Fighter finale, when he lost to Diego Sanchez by knockout. Florian went on to appear on the next two Ultimate Fighter Finales, beating Kit Cope on TUF 2 via rear naked choke and Sam Stout on TUF 3 via rear naked choke as well. His next bout was a unanimous decision loss to Sean Sherk at UFC 64 - Unstoppable. Since then, Florian has gone on to win his next three matches, defeating Dokonjonosuke Mishima at UFC Fight Night 9, Alvin Robinson at UFC 73 - Stacked and Din Thomas at UFC Fight Night 11. You would have to think that Florian, should he beat Lauzon at UFC Fight Night 13, will shortly face the winner of the BJ Penn - Sean Sherk match-up which will be taking place later this year.
Lauzon currently has a record of 16-3-0, with 13 of his victories coming via submission. Lauzon is eight years younger than Florian and ten pounds lighter.
Lauzon has rattled off an impressive six match winning streak, including victories over Jen Pulver at UFC 63 and Jason Reinhardt at UFC 78 - Validation. Most of Lauzon's matches have been extremely short, with only five going past the first round.
Lauzon has won all three of his matches in the UFC, starting with his victory against Pulver at UFC 63 - Hughes vs Penn. His most recent victory was a first round submission victory against Jason Reinhardt at UFC 78 - Validation.
This is a much-anticipated match-up and will serve as a great main event for UFC Fight Night 13. Lauzon at +160 seems to be pretty good value to me.
