Allen vs Silva Prediction
Brendan Allen is the odds-on favorite in this middleweight matchup and it isn't hard to see why. The former LFA Middleweight Champion is 4-0 in his last four fights, defeating three of those opponents by submission. He most recently impressed at UFC Vegas 70, submitting Andre Muniz while ending his nine-fight winning streak in the process.
Things were looking grim for Bruno Silva after back-to-back losses, but he managed to turn things around in his latest outing. The 33-year-old veteran stepped into the ring with Brad Tavares back in April, knocking out the 16-year veteran in one round to take home 'performance of the night' honors.
At the end of the day, Allen has too much momentum to ignore. He averages 1.27 takedowns and 1.6 submissions per 15 minutes and now faces Silva, who has already been submitted six times in his career. With how easily Allen has been snapping and tapping his opponents out, there's little reason to believe that Silva will be an exception to the rule.
Take Allen to extend his winning ways to five straight fights.
Allen vs Silva Best Bet
The moneyline is the only betting option at the moment, making an'Allen outright win at -188 odds'the best bet for now. Make sure to check back on FanDuel Sportsbook leading up to UFC on ABC 5 for more playable options.< /p>
