Diego Lopez - Gene Silva: betting tip and bets for the fight

Current form

Diego Lopez was defeated by Alexander Volkanovsky at UFC 314 in April. The fight turned out to be tough: Diego went ahead, worked in series and was looking for a chance to catch his opponent with a heavy blow. But Volkanovski showed more mature work — he didn't just answer, but turned on the whole set of skills and confidently took the vacant featherweight title.Lopez had a chance thanks to a series of five consecutive wins, where he passed such serious guys as Brian Ortega, Dan Aige and Sodik Yusuf. But against the champion, betting on constant pressure and an emphasis on power punches turned out to be a mistake. The plan was simple: to crush and knock out. However, time was working against him. In five rounds, he did not have time to prove his advantage, and the judges gave the fight to Alexander. It is worth noting the dimensions: Lopez is larger and longer than Silva.

Current form

Jean Silva is a completely different story. He has been unbeaten since 2018 and has accumulated an impressive streak of 13 wins. In the last fight, he strangled Bryce Mitchell, and before that he knocked out Melsik Baghdasaryan. Gin looks extremely unusual. His style is a mixture of audacity and improvisation. Sometimes it seems like he's moving in the flow, coming up with punches as he goes.

There is something of the legendary Anderson Silva in his manner.: the very ability to seize the moment and respond with a blow so that the opponent does not have time to understand what happened. True, there are also episodes of clumsiness, like the Spider once had, but so far they do not break the whole duel. Silva goes forward and tries to literally crush the opponent with his aggression. He makes him make mistakes, look for air and space.
