Should Erick Silv a be a nearly 2-1 betting favorite over Matt Brown ahead of Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 40 main event? Ask the question, and you’re bound to get some heated discussions. Brown (18-11 MMA, 11-6 UFC) has publicly stated that the betting line makes no sense to him , particularly because he’s riding a six-fight UFC winning streak while Silva (16-4 MMA, 4-3 UFC) is a mere 3-3 in his past six trips to the octagon. Silva has not defeated an opponent as accomplished as Brown inside the octagon, but it appears oddsmakers and the public share a similar line of thinking in that the Brazilian will break through in the FOX Sports 1 headliner at Cincinnati’s U.S. Bank Arena. UFC commentator Jon Anik has witnessed what both men have to offer over the years, and while he’s not in the business of making fight predictions, he feels the odds are justified
