UFC recently announced that the next season of The Ultimate Fighter will pit two tough Heavyweight coaches against each other as former champion Brock Lesnar looks to lead his team to victory against the team of tough Brazilian striker Junior dos Santos.
As always, once the reality show is over, the two coaches will meet in what is sure to be a hotly contested bout. Lesnar is one of the most dominant wrestlers in the sport, but dos Santos is an extremely formidable puncher and Lesnar has proven that he is not a big fan of being hit.

Obviously, this fight is still a long way off, but many sportsbooks are already offering early odds. This is great news for anyone interested in betting on the fight, because it gives you an opportunity to take advantage of some slightly skewed odds before time and betting patterns bring them back to normal. The first step is obviously deciding which guy you want to place your bet on. Lesnar had a hard time dealing with the striking of Carwin and Velasquez, and dos Santos is far more dangerous on the feet than either of those guys. On the other hand, Carwin and Velasquez both have serious wrestling pedigrees that dos Santos clearly lacks. Obviously dos Santos has a solid chance of knocking out Lesnar, but I don’t think he has the tools to keep Lesnar from bullying him onto his back and physically mauling him from top position. I think this is a good style matchup for Lesnar, and that he is a very attractive bet especially with these skewed early odds.
