UFC 110 Michael Bisping vs Wanderlei Silva UFC 110 Picks: Due to the fact that the success he has enjoyed throughout his career hasn’t transferred over to the Ultimate Fighting Championship, sports betting odds favorite Wanderlei Silva [-165 ML] faces the possibility of a must-win bout against Michael Bisping [+135 ML] in tonight’s UFC 110. Since coming over from PRIDE, the Axe Murderer is just 2-5 in the UFC and thus, has decided to shed some pounds and compete at the middleweight division.

Hmm my money is on Silva

This fight has all the ingredients to be a must-see, as both guys will be looking to knock each other into next week. But when it comes to punching power, I have to give the edge to the Brazilian. I think that if Wanderlei can come out aggressive and looks to end the fight quickly, he can eliminate the potential for rust and fatigue from the cutting of the weight. Besides, I think that as proud and macho as Bisping tries to be, it would not take much for him to fall into a slugfest in the middle of the Octagon, and I think we all pretty much know who would be the last man standing if it gets to that point.
