Game Date: 05-10 10:45 PM EST

Odds: Alexa Grasso +196, Natalia Silva -231

Preview:

This is an intriguing matchup in the Women’s Flyweight division. Alexa Grasso, the former champion, looks to bounce back after losing her title to Valentina Shevchenko. Natalia Silva, on the other hand, is riding a wave of momentum with a string of impressive wins in the UFC.

Grasso is known for her boxing skills and solid ground game. She has good footwork and is capable of landing clean, powerful punches. However, her takedown defense has been a question mark at times, and she can be vulnerable against strong wrestlers. She needs to keep this fight standing and utilize her striking advantage.

Natalia Silva is a dynamic and explosive striker. She possesses a diverse arsenal of kicks and punches, and she’s not afraid to mix it up. Her grappling is also improving, making her a more well-rounded threat. Silva’s key to victory lies in pressuring Grasso, using her speed and agility, and potentially mixing in takedowns to keep Grasso guessing.

Prediction:

While Alexa Grasso has the experience and championship pedigree, Natalia Silva’s current form is hard to ignore. Her speed, aggression, and ever-improving grappling make her a dangerous opponent for anyone in the division. I believe Silva will be able to dictate the pace of the fight, landing more frequently and possibly securing takedowns to control rounds.

Pick: Natalia Silva to win at -231. While the odds aren’t incredibly lucrative, Silva’s momentum and stylistic advantages make her the likely victor.
