UFC 134 Betting – Silva and Rua Look For Win On Home Soil Visit PinnacleSports Save For Later Posted by Bettingpro Staff 15 Aug 2011 Tweet Related Articles See all UFC / MMA news Share it Pin It MA fighting returns to Brazil for the first time in 13 years for UFC 134 on Saturday, August 27th. UFC Betting sees two Brazilian fighters headline the event, as Anderson Silva fights Yushin Okami and Mauricio Rua takes on Forest Green inside the octagon.The UFC 134 fight card, at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, features a Brazil vs. The World theme and marks the first time UFC has been in the Country since 1998.Brazilian Anderson Silva fights Japan’s Yushin Okami as he looks to continue his unprecedented dominance of the middleweight division, while Mauricio Rua takes on Forrest Griffin, as he attempts to step back up the title ladder at light heavyweight. Japan’s Yushin Okami was the last man to defeat the ‘Spider’ back in 2006. However, since that ‘loss’ Silva has reeled off a sensational 14-fight win streak. Silva can avenge his only loss in recent memory with a victory, although fans will recall the defeat was a disqualification for an illegal upkick to Okami’s head. Okami is a (4.560) underdog at Pinnacle Sports against the champion and is 14-2 in his past 16 fights, including a victory over Nate Marquardt to earn this title shot. The pair of losses came against Rich Franklin and Chael Sonnen. Mauricio Rua, meanwhile, looks to rebound from his loss to Jon Jones when he takes on Forrest Griffin, the man who choked him out back at UFC 76 in 2007. Shogun Rua has lost three of his past six fights but seems primed to earn another title shot with a win here and another victory later in 2011. Only two of his past 13 fights have gone the distance. The UFC 134 card also includes heavyweight title ramifications as fast-rising Brendan Schaub faces Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. Since losing the Ultimate Fighter 10 finale to Roy Nelson, Schaub has been improving fast on a four-fight winning streak. Ross Pearson is a (3.360) underdog at Pinnacle Sports against Brazilian Edson Barboza, while Spencer Fisher desperately needs a win as he tangles with Thiago Tavares. Fisher has lost three of his last four and, despite wins over Thiago Alves, Mattt Wiman and Joe Lauzon on his resume, will be in danger of losing his job with a loss.
