If the Jabbawockeez-inspired altercation at Friday’s weigh-ins didn’t get fans pumped for tonight’s “UFC 126: Silva vs. Belfort” fiesta, then the most recent betting odds for the pay-per-view broadcast should do the trick.
Saturday’s show takes place inside the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada and features a middleweight title scrap between champ Anderson Silva and Vitor Belfort.
While there has been some movement in the betting line for the main event, it appears “The Spider” will settle around the 2.5-to-1 favorite arena when the curtain is drawn.
Belfort enters the biggest fight of his life as a 2-to-1 underdog.
