The additions of Mirko Cro Cop and Cheick Kongo to the UFC 99 card made what was a pedestrian event by league standards to a monster in Cologne, Germany.

The early BetUS UFC odds are out now for the June 13 event, and the main event has Rich “Ace” Franklin as a solid bet over Wanderlei “The Axe Murderer” Silva in a light heavyweight fight that should be a stand-up war.

Franklin is currently favored with odds of -150 to +110 over Silva, in what is being dubbed as a match between one of the UFC’s most technical boxers (Franklin) and one of its wildest, most unpredictable muay thai fighters (Silva).

The muay thai clinch game will no doubt be a point of emphasis for Franklin, considering he was brutalized by Anderson Silva in their first fight and Wanderlei Silva is probably equally skilled in that department.

There are plenty of other fights to keep an eye on in regards to UFC 99 lines, including the Spencer Fisher-Caol Uno fight at lightweight.

The main card matchup between Chael Sonnen and Dan Miller hasn’t been discussed a whole lot, except among the most ardent UFC fans, of course.

But it has the makings of an intriguing, close matchup between a jiu-jitsu specialist in Miller and a top-flight wrestler in Sonnen. It also could have more of an impact on the pecking order in the middleweight division than most people realize.

Because the division is starved for contenders and Miller could suddenly vault up the rankings with a signature win in combination with his sterling record of 11-1.

Normally I don’t trust guys with two first names, and this is no exception. Sean Sherk is a dominating wrestler who holds a 33-3-1 SU record, with 13 submissions. At 5’6 and 155 pounds, he is a powerhouse who has only polished his striking ability over the last few fights.

Frankie Edgar is a punch 9-1-0 SU fighter, who lost to Gray Maynard at UFC Fight Night 13 due to unanimous decision.
