Though I think Evans will win this fight I do not like the sports betting odds for this fight. Silva opened up at +160. I think the lines should a lot closer and the -195 UFC betting line for Evans is a little off base. I personally don’t like the opening sports betting odds for this fight. Yes I do think that Rashad is going to win this fight but the -195 opening betting lines seem a little steep. The reason why the lines are so steep is because Rashad was on the Ultimate Fighter reality show and he has more exposure than Silva. Betting for mixed martial arts has never been about trends or ability but more about marketing. Because Evans has more exposure he gets favourable betting lines.
We dont even know if Thiago Silva is even a top ten fighter yet. This will be his biggest test to set if he is an upper echelon fighter. Once a member of the renowned Chute Boxe Academy, Thiago now trains with established fighting stable American Top Team. However, one thing is for sure and that is he can fight. The one thing that still needs to be answered about Silva is if he can fight top level fighters. He has only fought only one really top level fighter in Lyoto Machida where he was KO`èd in the first round. He has an impressive KO over Keith Jardine which has given him some more credibility but the real test is Rashad Evans.

Striking wise Silva is a better striker. He has been kicks and punches and he is very agressive in his forward attack and his strikes. He will pose some problems for Evans. The one disadvantage about Silva`s striking is that he is not patient. He likes to come forward too much and this puts him in vulnerable situations. Even though Rashad does not have as much skill in the striking department he is a smarter fighter and striker. He likes to be patient and wait and time his strikes. Rashad is not a very aggressive striker and he will wait until it is the perfect time to strike while Silva is more aggressive and puts him in vulnerable positions. Rashad uses a lot of head movements and tries to fake his opponent to throw strikes. Once his makes his opponent throw a punch or kick he will counter attack. Just look at his fight with Chuck Liddell. He was patient and waited for Liddell to come in an throw a punch and then he counter attacked and was able to knock out Liddell. Well Silva is an even more aggressive striker than Liddell is and will press the action. This will leave him in a vulnerable position to be hurt by Evans. Bottom Line: Both fighters come from great MMA camps but Evans trains with Greg Jackson and he is the best trainer in mixed martial arts today. He will come up with a game plan to fight Silva. He will adjust his fight plan for Silva. Thiago already beat a Greg Jackson fighter in Keith Jardine. Silva knocked out Jardine with a left hook and ground and pound stopping the fight at 1:35 minutes of the first round at UFC 102. You might be able to beat Greg Jackson once but not twice. Evans is a very smart fighter and will listen to whatever game plan Jackson comes up with.

UFC 117 is on its way and fans are still in favor of middleweight champion Anderson Silva, although many of them silently hopes he gets dethroned by number 1 contender Chael Sonnen to pull Silva’s strings down to earth again.
After his lackluster performance and mockery of Demian Maia in UFC 112, Silva was bombarded with loud criticisms for lacking the will to engage and the killer instincts in the octagon. Nonetheless UFC gaming is still on a roll, with bets pouring in on the way to the fight.
Anderson Silva (26-4) gets the -450 odds in UFC betting, proof of his advantage over the challenger and number 1 contender in Sonnen (24-10-1). With this fight The Spider gets to redeem himself after UFC 112 and show the fans how he became the world’s pound for pound fighter with his laser-guided strikes and great evasion.
With what ever is on the line, part of the fight is personal for Sonnen. He has been throwing garbage at Silva’s backyard all the way through the fight in August and has shown disrespect over the champion, including his friends. Recently, he belittled the Noguiera brothers for their jiujitsu, saying that the team’s black belt is “no big deal.”
“I think a black belt under the Nogueiras is saying, like, I got a free toy in my Happy Meal. I don’t really understand what the big deal is. One of ‘em’s a punching bag, and the other one I just ignore; he’s really irrelevant,” says Sonnen in an interview.
Among the many elite cage fighters in UFC, Sonnen has shown the forciveness that will put pressure on Silva in the whole fight. Sonnen may not have real respect for Silva, but he will still have to back his words and put Silva to sleep or else he gets the toughest humiliation from every big names in Silva’s camp and their fans. Silva is ready, he is the champ, and like he said, Sonnen should come ready too.
