UFC 97 Main Event - Silva vs. Leites

Although it wasn’t the most exciting fight, Anderson Silva defended his middleweight championship for a UFC record fifth straight time. For those of you who followed the advice of our UFC analysts, you would have cashed in on the -600 favorite.  

The first three rounds were fairly uneventful as Leites seemed to fall to his back in an attempt to play jiu-jitsu any time Silva batted an eye lash. The champ wasn’t in any mood to make this a ground fight and simply walked away and waited for Leites to stand up.  The action picked up a little in the fourth, but the fight never really lived up to the hype.

There is little doubt that the next few UFC events will lack anything in terms of excitement. Stay tuned to the Locker Room for all the upcoming news and fight previews from the number one MMA Sportsbook in the country, BetUS.com.
