UFC 147: Wanderlei Silva vs. Rich Franklin 2 Odds

Current UFC 147 Betting Odds – On Saturday, June 23, 2012, UFC will return to its Brazilian roots as UFC 147 airs live from Jornalista Felipe Drumond Stadium in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.  In the main event, Brazilian superstar and PRIDE legend Wanderlei “The Axe Murderer” Silva will look to recapture some of the magic of his prime as he squares off against former UFC Middleweight champion Rich “Ace” Franklin.  Both of these guys are former champions with great striking, but both are past the primes of their careers.  Silva showed in his last fight against Cung Le that he still has some of that old brutality left in him, but it remains to be seen whether he has enough left in his tank to deal with Franklin’s sound technique and underrated wrestling game.

In the semi-main event, another popular Brazilian will be featured as Heavyweight submission ace Fabricio “Vai Cavalo” Werdum will look to halt the momentum of surging journeyman Mike Russow.  These guys are two of the Heavyweight division’s most proven submission finishers, and the matchup of Werdum’s flawless technique and Russow’s stifling, bruising top control style should make for an interesting fight.  Also featured will be a Featherweight bout pitting Iuri “Marajo” Alcantara against Hacran “Barnabe” Dias and a Lightweight showdown between Milton “Miltinho” Vieira and Felipe “Sertanejo” Arantes.
