Prediction: After watching the tape I have no idea what to expect in this fight.
Both fighters seem to be good but I don’t know how good. From what I knew of Torres, he started off more as a grappler. Lately he’s been striking solely and is comfortable doing so.
Silva has some stuff on the feet but sticks to his jiu-jitsu mostly. Of all the fights I broke down so far this is the toughest one to call. If I had to pick I’d pick Torres because he’s more well-rounded. Not confident but I’m picking Torres by decision.
