FIGHT WINNER
Edgar Chairez
โก67%
Edgar Chairez enters this flyweight bout with recent momentum, securing back-to-back victories, including a submission win over CJ Vergara and a split decision over Felipe Bunes. Chairez is a persistent fighter with a strong submission game, accounting for 8 of his 13 professional wins. His ability to find finishes on the ground will be a significant threat. Bruno Silva, while a dangerous striker with knockout power and some submission wins, has shown inconsistency in his recent flyweight performances, with a mixed record of wins and losses. He also suffered a brutal knockout loss at middleweight in May 2025, which led to his temporary release from the UFC, although he has since returned to the flyweight division. While he has fought twice since then, including a submission win, his chin has been tested, and his overall recent form is less convincing than Chairez's. Chairez's grappling and submission prowess are likely to exploit any vulnerabilities Silva may present, especially if the fight goes to the ground. Although Chairez has been noted for 'mind-boggling decisions' in past fights, his recent performances demonstrate a clear path to victory through his grappling. Given Silva's recent struggles and Chairez's consistent submission threat, Chairez is favored to secure a submission victory, likely in the middle rounds as he works to find an opening.
