Brenden Allen vs. Bruno Silva: UFC Fight Night Odds & Picks (6/24)

The UFC is finally out of the Apex and will be live at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Fla. Josh Emmett will put his top-five ranking on the line as he takes on undefeated prospect Ilia Topuria. Amanda Ribas and Maycee Barber will fight in the co-main event, and many other veterans will fight on the undercard. The prelims start at 11:30 a.m. ET on ESPN, and the main card begins at 3 p.m. on ABC.

  • Dist Def: 56%
  • KD%: 1% (1 KD out of 100 distance strikes)
  • Control % Off: 10.9%
  • Control % Def: 11.5%

There are two main differences between these two fighters’ profiles. Brendan Allen is slightly more active and has a higher Control % Offense. Since everything else is similar, I lean on Allen, who has a more concrete path to victory. Bruno Silva prefers the standup but fights at a slower pace than Allen.
