Holm vs Silva – Preview
The bout is definitely a top one we can currently get from the women’s division. Both fighters will look to make an impact, as securing a win could place them against a top-ranked fighter in the future.
Holly Holm
On one side of the octagon, we have “The Preachers Daughter” Holly Holm. He has a record of 8 wins and 6 losses in UFC. She is currently ranked third in the women’s bantamweight division. Her notable career wins have been over the likes of Ronda Rousey, Megan Anderson, and Irene Aldana.
Even at the age of 41, Holms is going strong in UFC. In her last 4 fights, she has only lost one of them. Her last bout was after a return from surgery, and she defeated her opponent pretty comfortably. Coming to her stats, she has a takedown percentage of 32, with a striking percentage of 34.
Mayra Bueno Silva
Standing on the other side of the octagon is “Sheetara” Mayra Bueno Silva. The Brazilian fighter is on a 3-match winning streak and enters the octagon with high confidence. She is currently ranked tenth in the women’s bantamweight division and has secured wins over credible fighters in UFC. Her last bout was a second-round win against Lina Lansberg. The fight against Holly Holms will probably be the biggest of her career.
Silva’s striking accuracy is 34 percent, the same as Holms’. But she will be looking to take advantage of her better grappling against Holms to secure a victory. Silva has stated that after defeating Holms, she will be going for the championship. So, she will be going with a really aggressive approach in this bout.
Final Verdict
Silva is really aggressive and hyped for the fight. It will be a close contest. But we think that she may fall short in front of Holms’ experience.
