Best UFC 292 Bets: Andrea Lee vs. Natalia Silva Odds
Andrea Lee: Opened +275, Now +260 | Natalia Silva: Opened -345, Now -325
Lee has a kickboxing background, but she has developed a well-rounded skill set to this point. She currently has a 13-7 professional record with three knockouts and five submission victories. Inside the Octagon, she lands 5.13 significant strikes per minute while absorbing 3.59. She has excellent 64% striking defense, giving her the advantage on the feet in many matchups. On the mat, she lands 2.04 takedowns per bout and defends them at 54%. While she lands takedowns, Lee has been outwrestled and controlled numerous times in the UFC.
Silva is the younger fighter and has a 15-5 professional record. She boasts five knockouts and seven submission victories. Silva has been knocked out once and submitted twice, but she has not lost since 2017, which came against Marina Rodriguez. Now 3-0 in the UFC, Silva lands 5.47 significant strikes per minute while absorbing just 1.90. On the mat, she averages 1.02 takedowns per bout and 92% takedown defense.
To this point, Lee fought the tougher competition, fighting to split-decision losses in three of her last five defeats. Lee’s kickboxing background should give her an edge on the feet. While Silva has solid takedown defense on paper, it has yet to be tested against the superior fighters within this division. With such long odds in this fight, taking a shot on the underdog Lee makes sense.
