Game Overview

UFC lightweight bout featuring Claudio Puelles (29, 13-4-0) versus Joaquim Silva (36, 13-6-0), both southpaws with contrasting styles. Puelles known for solid submission game and defensive striking, Silva for higher volume striking and durability.

  • No direct head-to-head fights found between Puelles and Silva, making this a stylistic clash rather than familiarity-based.
  • No current reported injuries for either fighter impacting performance.
  • Fight is at a neutral venue; no home advantage for either. Both fighters have similar southpaw stance, minimizing stance-related advantages.
