⚔️ Matchup Breakdown: Van’s Volume vs. Silva’s Experience
Van is younger, faster, and throws over 8 strikes per minute — one of the highest rates in the UFC. He’ll test Silva’s cardio and head movement from the opening bell. Silva, though battle-tested, absorbs more than he dishes out and tends to slow after Round 1.
The one X-factor? Silva’s ability to initiate takedowns and hold top position. But with Van stuffing 80% of takedowns and reversing well, this fight likely stays standing — which heavily favors “The Fearless.”

💸 Best Bet: Van 100+ significant strikes landed (+125)
