DANIEL CORMIER v ANDERSON SILVA: BETTING PREVIEW

Daniel Cormier is the current light heavyweight champion and boasts a record of 17 wins and 1 loss to Jon Jones. He has spent months planning to fight Jon Jones in a most anticipated re-match, and just two days before UFC 200, he has to turn around and start prepping for Silva, who is a far different stylistic fighter. DC is four years younger than Silva and possesses a well-balanced blend of knockout power and mat skills

Abderson Silva is one of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters in mixed martial arts history, but time waits for no man as his last win came in 2012. The 41-year-old has just one win (which was ruled a no contest) in his last four fights. Most recently, he lost to Michael Bisping via unanimous decision in February. Plus, Silva is taking this fight at light heavyweight instead of his usual middleweight bouts. The Brazilian has fought at 205lbs three times, in the period between 2008 and 2012, winning all three bouts by first-round knockouts.

Silva’s unique fighting style, experience and striking speed and accuracy does not give him a realistic chance in this matchup even if this is a three-round non-title fight, that works in his favour. The Brazilian has never been an underdog in his 20 UFC bouts to date but this time he is more than an outsider!
