With her immaculate record in the UFC, Silva heads into the match as the considerable betting favorite with -450 UFC odds. Meanwhile, Namajunas, despite her being a former UFC champion, will be the underdog with +340 odds.

UFC 324: Natalia Silva vs. Rose Namajunas: Prediction

My prediction is a unanimous decision victory for Silva over Namajunas, as she’s the more precise and accurate fighter. This striking prowess is backed by Silva’s taekwondo background that catches her opponents by surprise, especially her kicks.

Silva is very light on her feet and constantly moves. This allows her to load up on her strikes and not allow any telegraph from her opponents when she throws a kick. I think she’ll be able to land kicks on Namajunas’ head and body.

The toughness and championship experience of Namajunas will allow her to stay in the fight and won’t be finished. However, if she doesn’t close the range and distance with Silva, she’ll be on the receiving end of a lot of kicks.
