No sir.Comment -
if it goes to the ground he has one for sureComment -
Yes.
The only suseptibility Silva has shown since he has ben in the UFC was Round 1 against Travis Lutter and Round 1 against Dan Hendersen. Both guys managed to win a round by taking him down and controlling him from the top. Lutter actual had Silva mounted at one point.
Take it for what it is worth, since both fights were over two years ago.
However, Maia has great takedowns, espicially from clinch, where Andersen does so much damage. Now does this favor Silva, as Maia will not be able to get inside without getting blasted? Yes, to an extent. But, I think people are underestimating Maia's ability. I think he will be able to get the fight down at some point a large percentage of the time.
How effective will Silva be off his back against Maia if this ensues? That is the question. He is a blackbelt in bjj under Nogueira, so you can assume that he will survive a high percentage of the time. But, he rarely uses his BJJ in fights and Maia is the best in the world imo transitioning his BJJ to MMA.
However, with each stand up or start of round, the potential for a brutal finish is there. But i think the line is too high. I have .5u at +600. Bodog actually hit +700 2 days ago, but I jumped the gun.Comment -
yesComment -
i can see it happening.....Comment -
if travis lutter didnt waste all his energy trying to drop weight for the fight he would of finished Silva off IMOComment -
Longshot but I guess anything can happen. Silva would have no problem thoughShut your mouth when you talk to Me!Comment -
maia beating silva would seriously screw up the middleweight division. i dont want it to happen just because of how messy it would be.Comment -
I don't see him having any chance.He will toy with him like he did Forest Griffin.Comment -
Everyone thought Hendo had a chance because of his wrestling advantage but as we all saw it had no effect...same will happen tomorrow!Comment -
Demian Maia has no chance at all to beat Anderson Silva.All Damian has is his bjj, which is very good, but Anderson is a black belt and will be able to neutralize Maias ground game.After watching Maia vs Marquardt, its pretty obvious how this fight is gonna end.The line getting a little high on Silva, but hes still got some value left up to -900.Comment -
Take all the Dogs in the 3 main fights. All 3 will not lose. 1 will win for sure. 2 might even win. The chances of all 3 winning are probably 40 to 1 but you can get it at 150 to 1. Take it.Comment -
No way man.Silva, Penn, and hughes are all locks. The smarter thing to do is parlay all 3 favs at the top of the cardOriginally posted by JohnGalt2341Comment -
I might have to see if 5dimes offers a prop on this fight to end in the first round. don't see how silva doesn't knock him out fast - unless he doesn't want to.Comment -
go to the last 30 seconds, thats about maias only chance.
not sure if video is going to post or not, but its silva/chonan and id honestly hate to ruin it for anyone who hasnt seen it. The whole fight itself is good and you can really tell how far silva has come from then and now.

Maia just needs to untangle the web then the spider will be finished.Comment -

I for one, am not trusting hughesOriginally posted by playa420
I think Silva and Penn are solid plays but Hughes (for as good as he was) is iffy to me at best.Comment -
hughes could lose but unlikelyComment -
Maia has a shot if the fight gets to the ground... otherwise no chance in hellComment -
yea, and silva got sub'd by ryo chonan........Originally posted by Capn Morgan
i know, one fight was last year and one fight was about 5-6 years ago. but, you can not put too much stock in the marquardt fight when analyzing this fight.
i would have taken more out of that fight if maia spent the full first round trying to get inside on marquardt, and was just picked apart on the feet before being ko'd. but, he made a mistake and got ko'd 20 seconds in. i dont think you can just assume that silva will walk right in and light him up like irvin/griffin.
not saying maia has a good chance to win, but i think he is undervalued.Comment -
I'm on Gracie, Hughes isn't the same fighter he was in his heyday. The other two dogs seem to be overmatched. Penn gets sloppy at times when his conditioning starts going but I don't think that Edgar will get a chance to test that out. Silva is the closest thing to a lock that there's been. imo.Comment -
Hughes isnt the same fighter, but hes fighting a guy that was never really all that great in mma.Now Renzos 43 years old and hasnt fought in over 3 years, which is huge in the fight game.Originally posted by smarmyComment -
no..

Anderson is badass, no doubt. One of the best ever. But I can assure you that this is not the way Maia will be trying to get Anderson to the ground. If the fight gets to the ground at any point without Maia getting the hell beat out of him first, the fight then becomes a coin flip. Do I think Maia will win? Doubtful. But it wouldn't shock me if he did. At +575 it's a bargain to bet on Maia. I think the line should be around +300. I hope Maia shocks the world!Originally posted by 36mafiano..Comment -
