UFC 99 Betting Odds: Cheick Kongo vs Cain Velasquez UFC Picks: On paper, this is one of the most exciting fights in the UFC 99 card, as highly ranked giant, Cheick Kongo takes on a fighter on his way to becoming one of the best heavyweights in the world in undefeated monster, Cain Velasquez.
According to UFC 99 Odds makers at SBGglobal.com, Cain Velasquez [-200 ML] will handle Cheick Kongo [+165 ML] a devastating defeat in their UFC 99 meeting this afternoon in Lanxess Arena, Germany. 
After a long layoff, Velasquez made his UFC debut a display of absolute domination over Brad Morris (TKO) in UFC 83.
Three months later, the pride of Mexico was back in the Octagon to take on Jake O'Brien (11-2).
The outcome was the same, as Velasquez fished the fight in dramatic TKO fashion.
“I have to sit down more on my punches,” Velasquez said after the fight. “I got excited and tried to throw too many punches and didn’t put the power behind them.”
Nevertheless, on February’s “UFC Fight Night: Lauzon vs. Stephens” Velasquez once again cruised to a TKO victory, this tome over a well rounded and explosive, Denis Stojnic (12-2).
Needless to say, Kongo will be Velasquez toughest thus far. I expect this bout to be as great as advertised, as both fighters are hungry and eager to prove themselves and anxious for a title shot.
“I have to stay out of his stand-up range and keep pressuring him,” said Velasquez. “His takedown defense has improved a lot. He’s coming off a lot of wins… As far as his level of striking, he has to be the top fighter I’ve faced for sure.”
