Is there any possibility at all that Chael Sonnen will defeat world champion Anderson Silva in this UFC 117 sportsbook odds game? Just about every MMA lover that has viewed the Main Event in the forthcoming UFC 117 fights betting has asked him/herself this question. The response is no.



Anderson Silva is 1 of the greatest competitors to ever grace the Octagon of the UFC, and he’s, without a doubt, the most dangerous striker in the sport today. There is no way on earth that Silva loses this UFC 117 betting game to Sonnen. Although, Silva’s antics in his last fight may bring up some considerable questions regarding how seriously he takes his MMA betting fights nowadays or if he’s got some personal agenda vs UFC President Dana White and it is feasible he may use the forum of the UFC 117 betting Main Event to mess with him, but even then it’s difficult to picture Silva losing.

In April when Silva took the ring versus Demian Maia it was 1 of the oddest bouts in MMA betting memory. Silva essentially toyed with and insulted Maia for many rounds and then refused to engage for the remainder of the fight, even earning a warning from big John McCarthy. But did he lose? Nope. And he will not lose in this UFC 117 odds game either.

Silva’s largest flaw is his overconfidence and his lack of respect for his opponents. Still, Silva has used his world class striking to mess with his opponents and make a bit of a mockery out of the sport itself. He won his fight with Demian Maia by unanimous decision, on the other hand, considering he dragged it out as long as feasible. Why bother with real competition that may bring you a loss when you’re ahead in points? Why finish off your challenger when you’re up 40-36 on the cards? Protecting his lead was practically the smartest thing he could have done.

It is difficult to know how this fight will happen. Perhaps this UFC 117 betting game will happen with the same type of nonsense as Silva’s previous fight but he’ll still win. It may be bizarre, ugly and annoying but when the final bell dings Silva will still be the UFC middleweight champion, considering his pride as a competitor will not allow him to take a loss.

Silva is still the greatest pound for pound competitor in UFC betting, and likely on the planet, even if he might have lost some of his quickness in recent years and maybe some of his ability. There may be some competitor out there that can challenge him, maybe even beat him in the Octagon, but it’s definitely not Sonnen.

The UFC 117 betting competition is, admittedly, a little bit of a letdown after a string of exceptional UFC Main Events. Sonnen’s got a lifetime MMA betting career of 24-10. He is a realtor. And a little over a year ago he was choked out by Meia, the same competitor that Silva recently finished embarrassing in April.
