UFC 162 Top Plays and Top Parlay go 3-1 and Profit 2 Units/Stars

Anderson Silva (-240) vs. Chris Weidman (+190) 5 Rds. Middleweight Championship
Anderson Silva is the greatest striker in the history of MMA.  He is a dangerous striker that can finish a fight at anytime with precision power punches.  Anderson’s weakest part of his game is his wrestling.  Weidman is arguably the best grappler in MMA today, if you combine his wrestling and BJJ.  He is the better grappler and can control where this fights goes.  Weidman needs to stay cool and not rush anything and set up his takedowns.  
Anderson could win this fight mostly likely in the early rounds and possibly championship rounds by catching Weidman with strikes and I was thinking of taking Anderson inside the distance around -110 but I have a feeling Weidman is a very live dog here.  In my opinion this fight could go either way and the odds should be closer to even.  Weidman should be able to limit exchanges, not get hurt and take this fight to the ground multiple times and finish Anderson Silva in the 4th Round by submission or maybe UD. 

Top Play:  1/2 Star Chris Weidman (+190)

Top Plays:
1 Star Tim Kennedy (-150)- Kennedy is well rounded with a solid grappling game.  Gracie is a very skilled grappler with below average striking ability. Look for Kennedy to stay away from submissions and land more strikes on his way to a decision victory.

1/2 Star Dennis Siver (+190)- Dennis Siver is a very skilled and aggressive Kickboxer, he likes to control the pace of a fight and uses punches and kicks to keep his opponents guessing.  He has improved takedown D and wrestling but Cub is better on the ground.  I don’t think this one will go to the ground though.  Swanson has dangerous boxing and a strong BJJ game and generally tries to land a big overhand right as his favorite power punch.  This fight should be closer to even, Siver could outpoint Cub as he is more active on the feet.
