Livest Dog at UFN Saitama: Henrique Da Silva

Name: Henrique Da Silva

Opponent: Gokhan Saki

Odds: +160 (bet $100 to win $160)

Last week we cleaned up on a +177 bet because we played the heavyweight division. The light heavyweight division is not much different and, in addition, this fight has a little extra excitement. While Gokhan Saki is a very well established kickboxer with crazy KO power, he also is 0-1 in MMA. That’s the same record as CM Punk for those of you keeping track at home. While Da Silva is far from a savvy wrestler, he does have a purple belt in BJJ, with some takedown knowledge in his base. It would probably only take a little grappling for him to grab the edge in this one and therefore at least worth a play here.
