WATCH: Donald Cerrone is putting a healthy chunk of change on Anderson Silva tonight

Confident in the upset

Darragh Murphy

From top to bottom, the UFC 200 card doesn’t have a bigger underdog than Anderson Silva.

‘The Spider’ is 7/2 to come in on 48 hours’ notice and upset reigning UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier in a non-title fight on the main card.

The former UFC middleweight kingpin has looked past his best in recent outings and his admission that he hasn’t done any hard training before accepting the bout has led oddsmakers to believe that it’s a foregone conclusion for ‘DC’.

But one fighter who believes it is anything but is Donald Cerrone.

‘Cowboy’ is in Las Vegas to drink in the atmosphere of international fight week, as well as plenty of Budweisers, and he claims that he’s putting his money where his mouth is.

“There’s always a fucking chance, this is it. This is the sport,”Cerrone told Submission Radio.

“This is fun. I’m going with Anderson. I’m putting $1,000 on it.”
