Chris Weidman (-470) Travis Browne (-410) - (-197)
Breakdown
Chris Weidman vs Vitor Belfort
The only way Vitor can win is to land a bomb early on Weidman because the longer the fight goes Vitor won't maintain his power. Vitor is off TRT and isn't the same fighter. Vitor struggles with wrestlers and I see Weidman getting him down easy and pounding him out to winby TKO.
Andrei Arlovski vs Travis Browne
Browne has devastating striking and is the younger fighter vs old man Arlovski who is past his prime. Browne has a great finish rate and is the more athletic striker so I think he finishes Arlovski and wins by TKO.

Daniel Cormier (+110)
Breakdown
Daniel Cormier vs Anthony Johnson
I don't think Johnson will be able to stop the take downs of Cormier who is a elite wrestler. Cormier knows he just can't stand and bang with Johnson who packs a lot of power. Cormier has a great chin but I see him using his great wrestling to smother Johnson and win via TKO.
