Two of the light heavyweight division's forgotten men will try to restart their title runs, as Thiago Silva and Keith Jardine try to bounce back from demoralizing losses by punching each other's heads.

Both guys like to stand up and kick, so this one is going to be a war. Both guys are coming off a loss - Jardine in a close decision to Quinton Jackson, while Silva suffered his first career loss in a brutal first round knockout by Lyoto Machida.

Jardine is listed as the -140 favorite, while Bodog has Silva pegged at +110 to pull off the upset.

This matchup should be very close, so you have to look where you can for an edge. Jardine was more impressive last time out by a wide margin, and Silva could be a bit tentative coming back from that last knockout. If he is even a little tentative then the shifty Jardine will exploit it.
