De La Rosa vs Silva UFC prediction and betting pick
PREDICTION: How fight will end - Submission +210 - Often, when two grapplers face off in the octagon, they prefer to stay on their feet, but both De La Rosa and Silva are sloppy strikers with holes in their stand up.
De La Rosa's loss against Mackenzie Dern in Legacy in 2016, as well as Silva's victory against Robertson, showed their preference to take things to the ground.
De La Rosa tends to be relentless with her takedown attempts while Silva is extremely dangerous off her back. With how much more comfortable both fighters are when grappling, look for this fight to end with a submission.
