I would say Mark Bocek is the best underdog bet on 73. Frank Edgar is amazing, but I just have a hunch he will have problems defending the submissions from a guy who just won the 2007 ADCC tournament.
Uuuuh, Bocek won ONE match at ADCC. And it was against Drew Fickett, not an established submission guy (hes more of a wrestler learning subs) Winning one match is a lot different than winning the whole tournament. Quite a big difference.
Shit, my bad. Last time I take anything posted on the Sherdog forum at face value.

To everyone talking about how Marquardt has never been knocked out, let me ask you this:
Name one man he has fought with knockout power? The 155 lb Genki Sudo who ended up submitting him?
Anserson Silva has fought great grapplers before, but Nate has never faced even a decent striker in his weight class.

I seem to remember Anderson Silva, not far removed from double knee surgery, pretty easily choking out submission master Lutter on the ground.
Nate definately has a very good chance of beating Silva, but I just don't think it is as big a likelihood as most people seem to think.
If nothing else we all know we are in for a good fight.
