The featherweight clash between Erik Silva and Francis Marshall will be the second bout of the upcoming UFC Mexico card on Saturday, which takes place inside Arena CDMX.<\/p>\n
Both are fresh off losses in their previous fights, but Marshall is going to be the betting favorite with -750 UFC odds<\/a>, and Silva, who\u2019s on a two-fight losing streak, will be the betting underdog with +525 odds.<\/p>\n UFC Mexico: Erik Silva vs. Francis Marshall Fight Odds<\/p>\n Erik Silva: +525 UFC Mexico: Erik Silva vs. Francis Marshall: Tale of the Tape\n<\/p>\n Erik SilvaFrancis MarshallAge3826Height5\u20199\u201d5\u20199\u201dReach71 inches72 inchesLeg Reach40.5 inches42 inchesRecord9-38-3Fighting StyleMMAFreestyleFinishing Rate78%63% <\/p>\n UFC Mexico: Erik Silva vs. Francis Marshall: Prediction<\/p>\n With the better mix of attacks and effective use of feints, I predict a TKO\/KO finish for Marshall over Silva. Marshall has great calf kicks, which he lands quickly and clean, but also has the threat of a level change at the same time.<\/p>\n This well-rounded fight approach can give Silva problems since he\u2019s already approaching 40 and is a bit step slow against his opponents. Add the fact that he\u2019s coming off a leg injury, and I\u2019m sure that Marshall will lock it as his target for his strong kicks, especially in the opening stages of the bout.<\/p>\n Erik Silva\u2019s Recent Fight Results\u00a0<\/p>\n Silva was a former Lux Fight League standout who joined Dana White\u2019s Contender Series in August 2022. He scored a first-round stoppage win over Anvar Boynazarov to earn a roster spot. But in his first two outings inside the octagon, he received losses to TJ Brown and Muhammad Naimov.<\/p>\n Francis Marshall\u2019s Recent Fight Results<\/p>\n Marshall was also a product of Dana White\u2019s Contender Series in August 2022, where he unanimously beat Connor Matthews. In his five UFC fights, Marshall scored wins over Marcelo Rojo and Dennis Buzukja, but dropped his bouts to William Gomis, Isaac Dulgarian, and Mairon Santos.<\/p>\n UFC Betting at the Online Sportsbook<\/p>\n UFC betting<\/a> is a unique way to get closer to the action of the world\u2019s biggest fights.
