Betting lines are showing Wanderlei Silva as a clear favorite by as much as (-200) to the underdog, Chris Leben at (+160). Part of the reason the odds are cast so much in Silva’s favor may be due to his immense popularity and another part may be from his clear Unanimous Decision win over Michael Bisping at UFC 110 in February of 2010. But Bisping has since gone on to a 3 fight win streak and is the current TUF 14 coach alongside Jason “Mayhem” Miller. Since that February 2010 fight, Silva has been sidelined with injuries including breaking three ribs during training camp and and knee surgery.
Chris Leben suffered a huge 1st round TKO loss to Brian Stann this past January at UFC 125, but prior to the Stann fight, Leben was on a bit of a tear with wins including a huge triangle choke victory over Yoshihiro Akiyama. It’s hard to believe Leben is this much of a dog going into this fight, but it could be to Leben fan’s advantage. Leben is a good bet as long as he isn’t under any influences.
