UFC Vegas 114: Charles Johnson vs. Bruno Silva: Prediction
I predict a unanimous decision win for Silva over Johnson, as he can use his grappling to control the fight and avoid a striking match. Aside from the one-punch knockout power of Johnson, Silva also has the disadvantage in height, reach, and leg reach.
With the veteran wits and wealth of experience of Johnson, I think he’ll survive the submission attempts of Silva and stretch the match to full three rounds. However, his striking and power combinations will be shut down.
