The upcoming UFC Fight Night on November 2nd presents us with an absolute barn burner as Steve Garcia steps into the cage with David Onama. We admit that Garcia has been rock-solid lately, but our money is on David Onama, as we believe his relentless pressure and forward momentum will be the difference maker. Read on for our best Steve Garcia vs David Onama match prediction.
Onama, the nicknamed Silent Assassin, doesn't care much about getting touched if it means he can land three of his own, and that's exactly what makes him deadly. While the stats show that he absorbs a high number of strikes (4.73 per minute), that high figure is only the cost of doing business when you throw 5.24 strikes every sixty seconds and never back up.
We just saw this relentless style work beautifully in his most recent outing, which was a huge unanimous decision win over Giga Chikadze back in April. In that game, Onama walked through shots and stayed in his opponent’s face for the full fifteen minutes.
Garcia is indeed sharp and has great defense, but he’s facing a human wave machine here. We think Onama has knockout power and the cardio to deliver that power for fifteen minutes, effectively forcing Garcia to fight the entirety of the bout off his back foot.

Our Steve Garcia vs David Onama Prediction
When the bell rings, this fight becomes a high-stakes chess match played at a breakneck speed. While Garcia has the better technical defense, Onama's constant, suffocating, forward-moving volume is a puzzle Garcia will not be able to solve for three rounds.
The Ugandan is coming off a massive win against an elite striker and is in the form of his life. He’s going to maintain that relentless pace from the first bell and eventually overwhelm Garcia on the feet, finishing the fight late in the third round. Hence, our Steve Garcia vs David Onama match prediction is that David Onama wins.
