Diego Lopes (26-7-0) versus Jean Silva (16-2-0) is a highly anticipated UFC Featherweight clash at Frost Bank Arena in San Antonio. The No. 3-ranked Diego Lopes will be fighting to bounce back from his loss to Alexander Volkanovski in a title match at UFC 314. Despite the loss, the 30-year-old Mexican-Brazilian showed his real dangerous side, knocking down the champion in Round 2 with a clean 1-2. He'll be eager to bounce back from the decision loss.
Jean Silva, on the other hand, is quickly becoming one of the most dangerous fighters in the division. The No. 10-ranked bruiser is still undefeated since joining the UFC in September 2023. "Lord" recently showed his dangerous finishing capabilities, winning via KO/TKO in four of his last five victories. His most recent win was against Bryce Mitchell at UFC 314, where he submitted his opponent through a guillotine choke in Round 2.

Our Diego Lopes vs Jean Silva Prediction
This will undoubtedly be one of the most exciting fights on Saturday night. Both fighters can turn the lights out on each other with one clean shot. Lopes boasts dangerous one-punch knockout power, as we saw in his most recent title fight. However, he often lets his guard down while attacking, which might give Silver a chance to sneak in several shots. Silva uses a more calculated approach and looks like the more refined striker. His excellent counterstriking capabilities should give him an edge against the rugged and durable Lopes.
Our prediction for Diego Lopes vs Jean Silva: Jean Silva to win via decision.
