Chael Sonnen +350 to put down Silva

[Bill Dozer]

Chael Sonnen has a 1 in 3 shot at putting Silva on the mat right? I was expecting +180.

Anyone know what Silva's last victim was getting?

[Chi_archie]

I like Sonnen

[JuicedUp]

Chael is making this fight interesting for me because he is the best shiz talker in the business. I still think he will get fukked up though. I think I will lay off this fight and just enjoy.

[pat venditto]

Bill you're a professional gambler?

[JMUplayer]

I wish the line was chael around +200... i'd pound that crap/ my house/my car/all my women on Silvaif he was around -150

[sundin4prez]

im going with chael but these odds are completely fair... silva is arguably the best fighter right know and chael although hot right now has a shaky past of getting caught with advanced strikers and guys with good jits which silva has both.... overall im laying money with sonnen simply because american mma is being trumped bu wrestling and i want anderson to lose...

[snake11eyes]

Save your money on Sonnen +340 is not enough. Dudes mouth is just going to get him in trouble. I dont like anderson but Sonnen has no shot to beat him. If you're stuck on playing Sonnen try a prop by decision +694 since thats his only chance to win albeit a very very small one.

[GunShard]

I can't take Sonnen seriously when he lost to that Arm Bar and claimed he did not tap out.
Sonnen is a sore loser.

A Silva -700

Best stand up in MMA versus best middleweight wrestler, should be interesting.

Best stand up in MMA versus best middleweight wrestler, should be interesting.

in todays american mma this just screams to take the wrestler... lets be honest for a minute, the cage,rules and judging favour wrestlers
so because of this and combined with that i hate anderson and find sonnen hilarious im going to be taking him...

[GoldRush7]

Henderson was the best wrestler silva had faced, and he dominated Silva in their first round (Got put away in the second in sort of a fluky way)... While I don't think Sonnen is quite as good a wrestler as hendo, he is definitely levels above the others in the division. Could be an interesting fight.

For how much ? 10 bucks?


Anderson knows he has a good chance that he'll be on his back sometime during this fight. Sonnen will try and ground and pound, and most likely get caught in a triangle or an arm bar. Or sonnen goes in for the takedown and Anderson breaks his face with his knee.

[Mr.Kitty]

Looks like mission impossible to beat Anderson Silva.

[stefan084]

if sonnen can get past the first 2 rounds his superior cardio might start to take over. i still don't think anderson can lose though until i actually see it

[Retibol]

+350 is not enough against that man

[Ulyses]

Silva will be looking to impress

[stymie]

good shot onh the dog here

[ngates815]

Silva will be looking to impress

Silva has been "wanting" to impress the last couple fights, but has yet to impress most of us.


Hopefully he does, and 2 of the last 3 fights were against BJJ guys, so there wasn't much standing action, hopefully Sonnen presses the fight, and makes it a good one.

[Philavanh]

Silva wins by KO first round

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

wow Sonnen has turned his bashing to Lance Armstrong??? "Lance Armstrong did a number of things and he gave himself cancer. He cheated, he did drugs, and he gave himself cancer."

[Tree Rollins]

The Travis Lutter fight makes me believe that Sonnen has a chance. With him running his mouth so much though, I'm staying away. Anderson might come out ninja style and kick his fuking head off.

[Vrakas]

a small bet on sonnen and hope for the best.

[Dirty Sanchez]

Sonnen can talk all the smack he wants...his problem is his opponent is twice as good as he is. Dana has put Silva on warning after his last few fights, and something tells me he's gonna use Sonnen as a message.

[JC2008]

Gotta go with Silva or nothing.

[playa420]

Anderson is gonna dominate chael, and laying -400 is a pretty good deal.Chaels only path to victory is taking anderson down and holding him there for 5 rounds.If the fight stays on the feet Anderson will murder chael, and even if chael gets a takedown, silva is a bjj black belt and chael has lost 60% of his fights by submission.

[beanbag]

It really does look like a trap to me...

[MadTiger]

Anderson Silva is going to beat that prep school, blue blood ass. But, in all fairness, he should thank Chael for selling the fight, and juicing up the portion of his purse tied to PPV sales.

[flyingillini]

I am on Sonnen, sooner or later Silva will lose, I hope this is the time.

[lockwoot]

he could get overconfident with his antics and get a fluke loss , but other than that i'm predicting a bully beatdown coming this saturday

[Vaughany]

Funny awkward staredown at the Press Conference!

[Kaladarus]

This is Sonnen's fight. Sonnen can control it and win it if thats what he wants. The only way Sonnen can lose is if he allows Silva to submit him or KO him.

[Handjuice]

All Sonnens trash talk and bullshitting is an admission of defeat in my eyes, if he really believed he could win than he would be training his ass off and perfecting his gameplan but instead he has been mouthing off trying to sell PPV's

Anderson 2nd rnd stoppage
