Current UFC 117 Odds. Live on Saturday, August 7, 2010 the Oracle Arena in Oakland, California will host UFC 117. For the Main Event we have the current UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva (26-4) taking on number one contender Chael Sonnen (24-10-1). This will mark Anderson’s seventh title defense since 2007. Sonnen is coming off a very impressive win over Nate Marquardt, where he used his wrestling skills and continually took Marquardt to the mat earning a UD. Silva is undefeated in the UFC with 11 straight victories. Silva’s last outing against Demian Maia left UFC President Dana White very upset as he showed a lack of respect for Maia and the fans. Silva danced around the octagon and wouldn’t go for the kill and earned a five round unanimous decision win. Sonnen has been very vocal about Silva’s actions in the ring and has vowed to take him down and unload some nasty ground & pound. We all know that’s easier said than done, but I also didn’t expect him to do that to Marquardt. I hope to see two motivated fighters and a good main event come fight night.

For the Co-Main event we will see UFC Hall of Famer Matt Hughes (44-7) up against Ricardo “Big Dog” Almeida (12-3). Hughes recently defeated Renzo Gracie, Almeida’s jiu jitsu coach and is set on vengeance. Almeida is on a three fight win streak and most recently defeated Matt Brown via rear naked choke at UFC 111. Can Hughes take out another jiu jitsu ace or will Almeida make him pay? Non the less it should be a good fight. Also on the card we have two heavy handed sluggers in Roy Nelson (15-4) vs. Junior Dos Santos (11-1).
