UFC 117: Silva vs Sonnen Odds
UFC 117 odds are set to commence on August 7th from the Oracle Arena in Oakland, California with the Middleweight title championship on the line as current defending champion Anderson “The Spider” Silva will meet Chael Sonnen. Silva vs Sonnen betting at online sportsbooks opened with Silva -500 as the prohibitive favorite while Sonnen +325 is listed as the underdog for the main event. Anderson Silva of Brazil has a career record of 26-4 with 15 wins by knockout, 4 by submission and 7 by decision. Of his 4 losses in UFC odds, 2 were by submission, 1 by decision and 1 by disqualification.
Silva has won his last 12 consecutive bouts in UFC betting and is coming off a win over Demian Maia in his last fight at UFC 112 on April 10th of this year in a unanimous decision. With the win Silva broke the record for most successful title defenses at 6. He initially won the title in October of 2006 in a technical knockout over Rich Franklin. Silva is widely known for showboating and did just that in his last bout against Miaia as he danced around Mohammad Ali style and taunted his overmatched opponent.
UFC President Dana White was disgusted with Silva and called him out publicly for the childish antics. White walked out on the fight and gave the title belt to Silva’s manager. White said if such antics happen again he will cut Silva. Sonnen has a career record of 24-10 with 7 wins by knockout, 3 by submission, and 14 by decision. Of his 10 losses 2 were by knockout, 7 by submission, and 1 by decision. Sonnen has won his last 3 consecutive bouts with the latest being at UFC 109 on February 6 when he scored a unanimous decision over Nate Marquardt as he won Fight of the Night honors for his efforts.
