UFC 270, Silvana Juarez vs Vanessa Demopoulos Fight Breakdown and Prediction
Both the female flyweights who will step inside the octagon at UFC 270 will have a golden opportunity to showcase their skillset in front of a jam-packed arena. Speaking about their recent results, Vanessa has lost both her fights due to poor takedown defence. Similarly, Silvana also lost her first fight due to her inability of defending takedowns.
Therefore one can expect these two fighters to get into a striking battle. In terms of power, the 37-year-old flyweight has an advantage as she has finished six of her fights via KO/TKO. Moreover, Gomez has a significant 4-inch reach advantage which gives her the benefit to keep distance and pick her opponent apart.
The only thing that could cause her problems is her bad takedown defence. If she manages to avoid those takedowns then it is safe to say that La Malvada could end up getting her hands raised by the referee at UFC 270.
