Prediction for the fight Jean Silva vs Diego Lopez

Another bright name from the Fighting Nerds team will try to get closer to the title. Standing in the way of Gina Silva will be the perfect candidate for such a fight – Diego Lopez. Their fight will headline the Fight Night 259 tournament, or UFC Noche, which will take place on September 14 in Texas.

Jean Silva vs Diego Lopez

Jean Silva

Five fights in the UFC, three of them were awarded a bonus, all were finished ahead of schedule. That's how a Muay Thai native burst into the league and started crushing everyone. Gene has a series of 13 victories, which pleased the bettors who bet on him. And the scalps are serious: Mitchell, Dober, Baghdasaryan - worthy.

Strengths

Silva has a wide stance, he doesn't raise his hands up that often, relying on his reactions and reflexes. Each punch is like a hammer, and this picture is complemented by crushing kicks, as well as feints that are difficult to read. Elbows, knees, the ability to defend against takedowns and get up from the ground - it all comes together.

Weaknesses

No one has ever had to "carry" Gina for long rounds on the ground, not even Mitchell with his base. But now the guy is reaching a completely different level, fighting for the first time in a 5-round fight, and, one might say, almost on the opponent's territory. And this is against the background of the recent failures of his teammates.

The current form and readiness of the fighter

The athlete is 28 years old, he already has 2 victories this year, and they do not raise any questions. But what does raise questions is his bravado in the octagon, his hands down and sometimes, outright mockery of the opposition. Lopez is a real fruit, so I want to believe that Silva's self-confidence will not lead to a fall, like his namesake Anderson did in his time. As for form, there are no questions about Gene and there cannot be any - he is on the rise.

Diego Lopez

The Brazilian is ranked 2nd. Diego has a large collection of championship belts collected in Mexico: XFL, JFL and LFL. In Fury FC he tried to take gold, but failed, but he has a black belt in BJJ.

Before the fight with Volkanovski, 5 bets on his victory came in, but against Alex it did not work. Although Ortega and Dan Ige could not resist Diego.

Strengths

Lopez is scary because he creates chaos in his attack. He doesn't defend himself, and forces others to accept the fight or leave. Fast hands, serial work, kicks in combinations, instantly replaced by pulling down to the floor and conducting submissions. Fury and speed - this is what ruins the game plans of his opponents.

Weaknesses

The champion showed that Lopez had and still has some shortcomings in defense, and besides, it is very difficult for him to stay on his feet with good wrestlers. Evloev, by the way, also demonstrated this to us. Those who do not play around with Diego in exchanges can beat him from a distance and, so far, he copes with this only due to his strong head.

The current form and readiness of the fighter

Lopez is 30 years old, he has had plenty of time to recover and correct his shortcomings since April. In the last fight, he surprised with his one-sidedness and lack of a second plan for the fight, fortunately, in the upcoming fight, the opponent is not so versatile, so the functionality and arsenal of the Brazilian should be enough.

Comparative analysis

Jin is inferior to his opponent in anthropometry, which he will have to cover with movement and a more polished striking technique. Looking at how Lopez imposes aggressive attacks and presses, there is no doubt that Silva will have to maneuver, as well as counterattack in time - he had no problems with this before, but Diego's impenetrability may complicate the tasks.

Since Lopez is not so good specifically in translations, the defense against them that Jin demonstrates should be sufficient. This means that all the most difficult things will await him in the vertical: pressure, many attacks from the opponent and clinches.

At the same time, Diego's open visor will gladly take the blows of his opponent - in his last performance he coped with this task superbly. So, if Silva does not act stupidly and behaves with restraint, he has a chance to competently work as a second number, catch the opponent with a counter punch and begin to dictate his terms.

Jean Silva vs Diego Lopez Prediction

The fight is very difficult to predict the outcome, since too much will depend on how Jin copes with the pressure and, possibly, the more protracted nature of the fight. At the same time, it is very unlikely that this event will last for all 25 minutes. In order not to miscalculate with the winner, we still recommend betting on the duration of the meeting, as well as the outcome of the fight - early.

Prediction: Total Less (4.5) by rounds/Early end of the fight – yes
