We’re back with some UFC action, and this time around we take you to the iconic Ball Arena in Denver Colorado that will host the much-awaited fight between Drew Dober and Jean Silva on Sunday 14th July. Will the experience of 35-year-old Dober overshadow the punch and determination of the Lord Assassin? That’s what we’ll find out in this exclusive Drew Dober vs Jean Silva expert prediction. Let’s start by reviewing the profiles of both fighters.
Drew Dober – An Experienced Fighter
With an impressive 27-13-0 record, Dober is a U.S. fighter known for his knock-out power. Although he’s much older than his opponent of the day, he boasts of a great record when it comes to dominating fights. With a weight of 70.8 kg, a height of 173cm, and a reach of 178cm, Dober comes to this fight well-prepared and in great shape.
11 of the 27 wins came by KO/KTO (that’s 41%), 9 came by submission and 7 wins were by unanimous decision.
The current #20 on the Lightweight fighter’s board (Worldwide) and U.S. native will be keen on making a good comeback after his defeat 5 months ago to Renato Moicano on Unanimous decision.
Jean Silva – The KO/TKO Master
His fight record alone is enough to give goosebumps to any fighter, 13-2-0! Jean Silva, the Lord Assassin is a 27-year-old Brazilian fighter who is on a current streak of 10 straight wins. With 66.9Kgs weight, 170cm height, and a reach of 175 cm, the Pro MMA fighter will be keen on clinching another win after taking out Charles Jourdain barely a week ago. Worth noting is the fact that 10 of his 13 wins were KO/TOs! This alone tells you Drew Dober is up for an uphill task come Sunday 14th July.
Drew Dober vs Jean Silva Prediction
Dober’s experience and well-rounded skillset give him an edge over Jean Silva. Without trying to downplay Silva’s striking prowess, I think Dober’s strong chin and good defensive wresting skills will help him win the fight. Let’s breakdown the 3 main reasons why Drew Dober will win the fight:
- Experience: Dober boasts of a significant advantage in fight experience.
- Cardio: Dober is known to have excellent cardio, which could be a problem for Silva if the fight extends to many rounds.
- Versatility: Overall, Dober is a well-rounded fighter. He has a complete skillset and a decent ground game to complement his striking.
