In the main event on the UFC on Fuel TV 8 fight card former Pride champion Wanderlei Silva returns to the land where his legend was forged to face American Brian Stann. Stann has been handicapped as the early UFC odds -240 favourite at Sportsbook.
His sound kickboxing skills should be able to wear down his older opponent for either a KO or a decision victory.
Silva will have an edge on the ground against Stann and also has the power to end this fight standing if he can close the distance. There’s lots of value in the Silva MMA odds +200 option at Sportsbook, as well as the +363 prop option on Silva winning inside the distance.

The Heavyweight matchup between Stefan Struve and Mark Hunt offers a few interesting UFC betting options. Struve will surely look to take this fight to the ground and take out Hunt with grappling and jiu-jitsu skills.
Parlay the Sportsbook -170 win option on Struve with the -115 “inside the distance” and the -250 “not Hunt inside the distance” options and the Struve value improves.
Hunt will need to land a power shot to win this fight, and if he can close the distance on Struve that outcome has a good chance of occurring. Hunt will currently pay UFC odds of +155 at Sportsbook, and if you like him in this matchup the Hunt “inside the distance” prop option is also at -115.
UFC on Fuel TV 8 will also see the return of Diego Sanchez to the Octagon following more than a year on the sidelines. Sanchez is a big Sportsbook -300 favorite and should have little difficulty steamrolling Gomi for a KO or a submission win. The Gomi upset option of +250 at Sportsbook looks a little slim against a fighter with the skill level of Sanchez.
