    Anderson Silva by submission +900

    Silva is a no brainer here. The real questions we should ask is when will he dispatch Okami, how will he do it, and will Okami be conscious at the end of the night.

    A finish is the most likely outcome here in a 5 round fight and there's two ways to finish a fight, by KO (most likely) or submission. There's a possibility silva stuns okami and submits him like he did to dan henderson.

    Submission by the Spider is very possible. Okami is gonna try to replicate what Chael Sonnen did. He took Silva down in their first meeting and I'm confident will take him down in this one. But can Okami avoid being armbarred or triangled for 25 minutes?

    Definitely would lay a little on this.

    The only way Okami can avoid the sub is if he gets KTFO first.

    If you think he's going to sub him then I'd take submission of the night at better odds than +900. If he does sub Okami he is likely to get bonus as he is main-event, Brazilian fighting in Brazil etc..

    I would lean more on the KOOTN because silva is going to land some knees during those take down attempts.

    I like Silva KOTN and SOTN as a play no doubt. I just can't see Okami hanging around 5 rounds when Silva has something to prove. Hopefully the lines aren't too weak.

    I really like this bet and its at +1030 now. Okami wants this fight on the ground, increasing the chances of an AS sub over a 5 round fight. I believe AS may be more inclined to look for a sub finish with the fight being in Brazil, versus a training partner of Sonnen. If AS is going to win this fight, I believe a sub is almost as possible as KO/TKO and with that price I can't ignore it.
