Alexander Gustafsson (-210) vs. Thiago Silva (+190)

This fight is a really tough one to call Alexander’s stand up has looked crisp and clean along with his solid ground game and submissions.  Thiago Silva is a true knockout artist with strong BJJ and can ground and pound if needed.  The problem is Thiago Silva has not fought in about 16 months and Gustafsson is in his home country.

Breakdown:  If Thiago is able to close the distance and land big punches he could KO Gustafsson.  Gustafsson will look to keep the distance and not exchange too often in the pocket.  Both of these guys have strong ground games and it is hard to say if either one will shoot for takedowns.  Look for this fight to be standing most of the time. 

Top Play:  No strong play here in our opinion but should be a great war to watch. 

Forced Action Play: Thiago Silva (+190) Thiago has a punchers chance to say the least

Diego Nunes (-200) vs. Dennis Siver (+170)

The line on this keeps moving it started near even.  Siver weighed in at 147 lbs on the original weigh in and had a 2^nd attempt in which he made the weight at 145 lbs.  After the weigh ins most of the bets went on Nunes forcing this line to get juicer for Siver.

Breakdown:  This missed our top play because this is Siver’s first time fighting in the featherweight division. He has the tools to beat Nunes and should press forward more and could win a decision over Nunes.  Both fighters have some strong standup skills, but we are worried about Siver gassing in the 3^rd round.

Top Play: No really strong play here Siver’s weight cut could lead to early gassing

Forced Action Play: Dennis Siver (+170) Fight time this could even be juicer
