Attention fight fans! Get ready for another great UFC betting affair coming to you on Pay Per View on Saturday, July 2nd, as UFC 132 is primed and set to kick off! This is a fantastic highlight card with five great fights on tap, and here at Cappers Mall, we've got the ins and outs along with UFC picks for you all lined up for the big time duels!
Dennis Siver (-125) vs. Matt Wiman
Siver has the hot hand right now coming into this bout, and we're a tad surprised that he is only favored by a -125 margin in this fight against Wiman. The American is 13-5 in his career, but he is fighting his way back up the ladder of the lightweight division after suffering back to back losses in UFC 97 and UFC: Fight for the Troops in 2008 and 2009 respectively. Siver made it onto the main card in UFC 127, and he did a fantastic job taking care of George Sotiropoulos by decision. The only loss that Siver has suffered over the course of the last three years came against Ross Pearson by decision, and we tend to believe that the German will be able to keep that record intact in a huge victory against Wiman.
Carlos Condit (+100) vs. Dong Hyun Kim
Kim has never been beaten in a fight before, as he is 14-0-1 in his 15 bouts. However, this is the first time that he is making it onto a main card on a Pay Per View, and he is sure to have some issues here dealing with teh veteran, Condit. At 26-5, Condit certainly has had his share of fights. After suffering a loss in his first UFC fight against Martin Kampmann, the American has gone on a tear, winning three straight matches at Pay Per View events. This would be a big time step up the ladder in the Welterweight division for Condit, and this should be the first time that Kim tastes defeat on Saturday night.
Tito Ortiz vs. Ryan Bader (-550)
At 36 years old, it's a wonder why Ortiz continues to put himself through all of this for UFC. He hasn't won a fight since headlining UFC in 2006 when he beat Ken Shamrock for the third time, and he has really fallen through the ranks since his loss to Chuck Liddell later that year. In fact, Ortiz has gone 0-4-1 in his last five fights, and this is probably not going to be a fight which goes any better for him. Bader, eight years younger than Ortiz, was defeated for the first time in his career when he tapped out against Jon Jones at UFC 126 back in February. However, he'll get back on track in what should be one of the, if not the last fight in the legendary Ortiz's career.
Wanderlei Silva vs. Chris Leben (+150)
This is probably the most intriguing fight on the entire UFC 132 card this weekend. Silva is only fighting for the second time in the middleweight division, and if his debut against Michael Bisping is any indicator, he could be in for a great bout against Leben on Saturday. However, we are still awfully concerned to go against Leben right now, especially after that loss to Brian Stann at UFC 125 on New Year's Day. This is going to be a tight fight that could go the distance, and if that's the case, we definitely want the underdog on our side.
Dominick Cruz (-155) vs. Urijah Faber
This is the headline fight for UFC 132, and it is for the Bantamweight Championship. Cruz has had himself one heck of a start to his career, as he is 17-1 and the first UFC Bantamweight Champion after beating Scott Jorgensen by unanimous decision at WEC 53 in December of last year. The one man that he wasn't able to beat though, was Faber, who made him tap out to a guillotine choke in March 2007. Faber was the headline man at a ton of WEC events, and he ran his record to an impressive 21-1 before going just 2-3 in his next five fights. He was the WEC Featherweight champion for quite some time, but lost that belt to Mike Brown via TKO for his second loss of his career. Since that point, Faber has been trying to regain a belt, but every time he has been up for a title, he has been beaten via unanimous decision. Though he's riding a two match winning streak, Faber's luck is going to be up once again in this one. We're getting a great price here on Cruz, who should be able to defend his crown and avenge the one loss earlier in his career.
