Although Anderson Silva was adamant in post-fight interview that he was uninterested in a rematch with Chris Weidman, that didn’t stop odds makers in setting a line for a potential rematch:
Two separate lines saw it that way. Sportsbook.com made Silva a -175 favorite (he’s already been bet up to -185), while 5Dimes.eu listed the Brazilian at -140.
Weidman is a +155 and +100 underdog on the sites, respectively.
Those numbers are among the closest odds in Silva’s UFC career; when he fought Dan Henderson in 2008, he closed at -140.
Despite Silva’s initial comments about not wanting a rematch, a report is already surfacing from Brazil that he has changed his mind and is hoping to fight Weidman in February, 2014.
