The main event of UFC on FX 5 on October 5th is an intriguing heavyweight battle between Travis Browne and Antonio Silva, and the linemakers have installed Browne as a sizable favorite. Despite wins over the likes of Fedor Emelianenko, Silva has lost two bouts in a row (to Cain Velasquez and Daniel Cormier) and that must have swayed the bookies. Check out the current line:

UFC On FX 5: Travis Browne Opens As Big Favorite Over Antonio Silva 5798

While I think Browne is the more athletic fighter and probably takes the bout, it's crazy to see Bigfoot as such a big underdog here. There's a ton of value there, and I've already jumped on that line. Silva might be slower, but he's a gigantic man with heavy hands and good BJJ. This bout is most definitely closer than the books have it at right now.

This line looks about right to me. Browne should be a favorite.
