This should be a fun fight and a clear win for Kevin. He is lightening fast, hits hard as hell and I have seen him go to a decision without gassing. Danny Silva is solid and on his own win streak, but he isn't dangerous and I think he needs to be if he is going to keep Kevin away from him. Vallejos is the pick and another win could have him as the hottest young prospect in this division.
Danny Silva
Danny Silva is a striker with clean technique and plenty of movement. He likes to invest in the body early for a late payoff. He has an insane striking differential of 7.36 to 7.96. Think about that, he lands more than 7 significant strikes a minute and still gets hit more than he hits his opponents. He doesn't have much in the way of offensive wrestling but does have decent takedown defense and a good getup game. He is not amazing at anything, but a solid striker who can wear you down and take a decision. He is coming off his third UFC decision in a row, this time over Lucas Almeida
Kevin Vallejos
Kevin Vallejos is a powerful striker who sends a beautiful 1-2. If you kick, he catches it and then bombs an overhand with the other hand. He is very comfortable on his feet, very dangerous and has impressive speed considering his power. He has a few submissions but he does have some grappling holes. He can be heavy on his front leg, but so far no one has exploited it. He is coming off a big KO win in his UFC.
