UFC on Fuel TV 2 Betting – Alexander Gustafsson v Thiago Silva Odds

Home favourite Alexander Gustafson will headline the Ultimate Fight Championship’s Sweden debut this weekend, taking on Brazilian light-heavyweight Thiago Silva at UFC on Fuel TV 2.

Pinnacle Sports Odds: Alexander Gustafsson 1.425, Thiago Silva 3.050

Gustafsson was odds-on favourite to take apart Antonio Rogerio Nogueira before the veteran fighter was forced to withdraw through injury. Now the Swede will have to ply his submission techniques on the 29 year-old Silva, but he remains the favourite.

The Mauler has a wide variety of techniques to call upon, but UFC betting fans will knows it's his submission moves that are most commonly summoned to battle. 57% of his attacks are submissions and the 25 year-old won two of his last four matches with rear-naked chokes.

He won the other two through TKOs, however, and that might be how it plays out in Scandinavia. Gustaffson revealed that he'd go fist-to-fist with Silva in a press conference, stating, "I will strike with him. This will be an early stoppage." All four of his last fights have ended within the first two rounds.

The Swede has won an impressive nine bouts out of 13 wins through knock-out, with only one defeat to his name - a submission to Phil Davis in 2010.

Silva may be able to survive Gustafsson's submission attempts, however, having never submitted in the UFC. His last two defeats (which occurred in his last four fights) were lost through decision and KOs.

A question mark lies over whether Gustafsson can go the distance with Silva, having never gone to Round Three and having finished eight fights in the first round. Silva took his last two fights to 15 minutes.
