Main card action will get underway at 4pm ET and prelims will get going at 12:45pm ET, all of the action will be streaming live entirely on UFC Fight Pass. If interested in wagering on this parlay, or any bouts for this fight card, all betting lines are currently made available at Several Bookmakerss. Here is my parlay: Middleweight bout: Anderson Silva (-320) vs Michael Bisping (+260) Gabe’s Thoughts: I don’t believe Silva is “done” and don’t think Bisping has what it takes to put him away or outpoint him for a decision victory on the judges’ scorecards. I see this five round middleweight tilt playing out on the feet, where I see Silva outstriking Bisping, and over the course of 25 minutes of action, I think there is a decent chance he finds a finish. I think Silva should be a 4-to-1 betting favorite in this contest, so at his current offering price of -320, I see enough value in him to include him in this two-way parlay for the main card of UFC Fight Night 84 in Bisping’s backyard of London. Gabe’s Call: Silva by Unanimous Decision (49-46, 49-46, 48-47) Middleweight bout: Gegard Mousasi (-320) vs Thales Leites (+260) Gabe’s Thoughts: I believe Mousasi is the superior mixed martial artist heading into this match-up and see him finding success in keeping this fight standing for three rounds and outstriking the Brazilian for a unanimous decision victory on the judges’ scorecards, and a potential T/KO finish along the way. I would not be surprised to see Mousasi initiate his improved wrestling and dominate Leites on the mat, but it is more likely he keeps it standing, where I think he holds a big advantage. I think Mousasi is an elite middleweight, while Leites is only above average. I believe Mousasi should be a -550 betting favorite here, so I really like him for a parlay piece here. Gabe’s Call: Mousasi by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) Gabe’s Recommended Parlay: Silva (-320) and Mousasi (-320) at -139 for 4.3u to win 3.1u
