Pulver vs Penn 2: Picks and Odds




On Saturday night in Las Vegas, BJ "The Prodigy" Penn will look to avenge his UFC 35 loss against Jens "little evil" Pulver in the Ultimate Fighter 5 finale.




It has been a long time coming for Penn who thought his UFC career might be over with the devastating loss to underdog Jens Pulver. Since then Penn has made a comeback and padded his record with loads of experience beating current welterweight champ Matt Serra and disposing quite handily the Gracie brothers Renzo and Rodrigo. This time around Penn says hes more focused and better prepared for the striker style of Pulver. *Note live lines are subject to constant change. Penn is favored at -490(risk $490 to win $100) B.J. is an excellent grappler and strong. Hes lost alot of weight to make the 155 requirement, I think this will only make him more agile on the ground and he has definitely got the motivation to avenge his loss, he should be favored, but I would wait until later in the week to get a price at the books as it will come down dramatically as is the pattern lately with MMA lines. Jens Pulver is currently +340(risk $100 to win $340). I believe this is incredible value on a fighter that has already beaten his opponent once!!! Add to the fact that Pulver is a vicious striker with 13 of his 21 wins coming by way of knock out. Pulver is coming off a loss from UFC 63 by the hand of Joe Lauzon and a flurry of punches in the 1st minute of round 1. So he will have plenty of motivation to rebound from an embarrasing loss. Right now all the value is on Jens Pulver.....Get him while hes hot folks because that price won't last long. Who do you like?
