Anderson Silva Opens As Huge Betting Favorite Over Bonnar | UFC NEWS

With the recent news that Anderson Silva is stepping up to face Stephan Bonnar to save the UFC 153 pay-per-view in Brazil, Oddsmakers have made their choice on a victor.
It should never come as a surprise that Anderson Silva is chosen as the odds makers favorite, even when he is moving up in weight and fighting a legit opponent like Stephan Bonnar.
The betting line is nuts, its nearly as lopsided as the Jones vs. Belfort line.

No sh*t
my sentiments exactly.
Is bonnar really the best ufc can do? Bullshit
Bonnar was the one guy to step up on short notice and you know he’s gonna go in there and put on a good fight. I’m personally really excited for this fight.
Does it make sense? No, not at all. Am I surprisingly intrugued by this match-up? Yes! Ive been wondering when Silva was going to fight again at light heavy and Bonnar is always ready to go out and bang. Should be an exciting fight…
I guess Bonnar wants to go out with a bang.
You don’t say…
Dana changed the Shogun Vera title shot last time people bitched, I have a hunch this will be changed as well. This isnt even a match, its a slaughter.
I want to see Bonnar get thrashed. I’m down for this fight.
Trade Bonnar for Jones and we got a real fight!Id love to see Jones vs the master….
Who has bonner even fought lately?
Can we at least challenge silva? silva vs cain? lol
Bonnar is a tough opponent. Will he beat Silva?? Not a chance in hell, but give him credit for being willing to give it a go against the best. He is on a bit of a win streak, and he does have some skill. Please do not forget, Jones could not finish Bonnar, and it has been a long time since anyone has legitimately finished him, not counting the doctor stoppage against Krystof, who he ko’ed in the rematch. Bonnar will give it his best, and it should at least be better than Griffin VS Silva was
Good comment.i agree.
I agree, than again any fight would be better than silva/griffen, lol all I remember about that fight was Anderson was helping Forrest get back up during the fight
I remember watching that. I have never laughed so hard in my life. That shit was epic.
Who is this guy?
Dana White’s a moron, lost his head. Get a new president in there.
I know it means pulling out but he should try give it to bisping I think
He deserves it seeing as silva as stepped up so soon and I think bisping has waited
Long enough for a shot and would be a better main event than bonnar
Let Allan Belcher fight him! I think he deserves a shot!
Not positive but I think he is out with a neck or back injury.
A fight with Anderson kinda payday is hey grand kids u can thank pop pop for payn for ur college tuition and a car for each of u to get around on campus
his heads gone
All u cu%ts Are f€£ked…. Bonnar is the man… I can’t wait for this fight… Bisping don’t deserve shit… I do like belcher but I still think he needs to fight a big head… BONNAR 4 LIFE… Never been finished and the man just droped Bertista… Silver is next…
Shit yeaH! Can’t wait for this fight. Bonnar is gunna run through Silva like a freight train. He just made Kingsbury look like a hack. Bring on UFC 153!!!
Oh man, imagine if Bonnar actually somehow pulls this off. The world would explode.
i hope stephan bonnar lies on him the whole ****ing fight.
