Betfair Publishes UFC 200 Props

MMA, and even pro wrestling, fans can now have a bet on some UFC prop bets following this afternoon's release of UFC 200 specials over at Betfair.com.

There are a handful of props available to punters. They range from enhanced trebles all the way up to Sable being a surprise octagon girl for the evening.

Yes, you read that right.

For this post, I'll concentrate only on the Lesnar/WWE-related markets that are available. There are others on the board, so I recommend checking the MMA Betting Page at Betfair.com to see the rest.

Starting from the top, the website is listing:

Brock Lesnar To Perform A German Suplex 8/1

I haven't bet on this one. I am intrigued to see if anybody does.

Brock Lesnar To Wear A Suplex City T-Shirt On His Entrance To The Cage 10/1

Brock Lesnar is set to walk out with Reebok's Canadian fighter jersey, so I am once again intrigued to see if any punter takes a stab in the dark on this one.

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson To Be Announced As A UFC Competitor On The Night 16/1

It was only late last night that I stumbled upon an article about The Rock where he mentioned that he considered fighting for the UFC in 2004 or something. I think the closest we'll get to seeing Dwayne Johnson fight in an octagon is if he plays a UFC fighter in a move.

Brock Lesnar To Get An Instant Title Shot If He Wins 8/1

I'm finding it hard to discount this option.

If you recall, Lesnar came into the UFC and lost in his first fight to Frank Mir. He then defeated Heath Herring and was given a title fight against Randy Couture with a 1-1 UFC record (2-1 MMA). Firstly, I don't think he'll beat Mark Hunt, but I do have a feeling that - should he win - it won't be the last we'll see of Lesnar in the UFC.

I haven't bet on it, but I'm tempted.

Quickest Fight Of The Night

As you would expect, the customers can pick which of the fights on the card will end up being the shortest. Brock Lesnar .vs. Mark Hunt is favourite at 8/11. The full list is below:

Sable To Be A Special Guest Octagon Girl 28/1

If you think Lesnar's wife will end up being  a guest octagon girl at any point during the night, the company will pay out at odds of 28/1. My money's staying in my pocket.

The Undertaker To Call Brock Lesnar Out Again? 10/1

This bet refers to the incident following Lesnar's loss to Cain Velasquez at UFC 121 when Undertaker was being interviewed by Ariel Helwani. Lesnar was walking past and Taker said something to him. This was all a work to set up a pro wrestling match between the pair. The traders are offering 10/1 on something similar being done again.

Vince McMahon To Be In Attendance 12/1

I have bet on this option. I have nothing to back me up on this other than my own thought that, if there is an agreement between WWE and UFC to have Lesnar's services for the night, I think it would be a courtesy for UFC to have invited Vince McMahon to the event. With that said, I would not be surprised if Triple H, Shane McMahon or Stephanie McMahon attend as the WWE higher-up representatives. 12/1 on the chance Vince is there is too good to turn down, though.

As noted there are many more prop markets on the board. These are just an example of the WWE-related specials that are available.

The markets can be found under 'Mixed Martial Arts' on the sportsbook menu at Betfair.com.
