Karine Silva: Opened -175, Now -155 | Maryna Moroz: Opened +145, Now +130
Moroz has a boxing background, but she only has one knockout among her 11 professional wins. She actually has six submission wins, speaking to the developments in her game. Moroz has never been finished in any of her four losses. Within the UFC, she lands 4.19 significant strikes per minute while absorbing 4.36. On the mat, she averages 0.69 takedowns per bout while defending them at 47%. Eight of her 10 UFC fights have gone to decision.
Silva has a 16-4 professional record with nine knockouts and seven submissions. Among her losses, she has been knocked out once and submitted twice, with only one of her 20 fights reaching the judges. Silva lands 2.39 significant strikes per minute while absorbing 3.43. She only has 35% striking defense, but all three of her UFC fights finished early. She also lands 2.24 takedowns per bout while defending at 0%. Again, this is a small sample, but Silva will often invite ground attacks to work her submission game. She embodies the “kill or be killed” philosophy.
Since their first fight, Moroz has fought more difficult competition, only losing to the top of the division. She also has the weapons to best Silva wherever this fight plays out. As long as she can avoid the early submissions, Moroz should take home a victory.
