Natalia Silva is very good and we will find out how good she is. This is an amazing fight to understand where she falls in the division. Her win streak is not only impressive because of how long it is, but also because it includes a combinations of prospects, veterans, strikers and grapplers. So far in the UFC Natalia Silva has looked amazing and I have no reason to think she won't beat Andrade. Obviously Andrade is a brute, but Natalia has great movement, takedown defense and is the more skilled fighter overall. Natalia Silva is the pick and I am looking forward to seeing what this does to her career.
Jessica Andrade
Jessica Andrade is a former world champion and contender at multiple weight classes. She has beaten some of the best women on planet earth. Style wise, Jessica is a decent striker with a ton of power. Her power is literally everywhere, she can push you around, pick you up and physically impose her will despite giving up height and reach. Her BJJ isn't the best and her takedowns aren't technical, but she will force the fight to the ground and start pounding away. Jessica is all bully though and if she can't push you around, she can't win the fight. She is coming off a very close win over Marina Rodriguez
Natalia Silva
Natalia Silva is a well rounded fighter who is always fun to watch. She has technical striking but will occasionally wing punches from her hips and work in spinning attacks. She does a good job baiting opponents into a striking match before committing to wrestling. She has solid upper body takedowns and then good control on top. She is insanely powerful for the division and we have seen her not only win by KO but also KO in the 3rd round so we know she carries her power late. She is coming off the decision win over Viviane Araujo
