6 Main Card Predictions For UFC Fight Night: Machida vs. Dollaway

4. Elias Silverio vs. Rashid Magomedov

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Az6gFwJJQA Weight Class: Lightweight Silverio vs. Magomedov is a clash between two prospects who had strong starts to their UFC careers. Silverio is on a three-fight win streak in the promotion, and is undefeated at 11-0 overall. Magomedov, the Dagastani-Russian, has a two fight win streak in the UFC, and is 18-1 overall. Magomedov has fought and won in Brazil before, in his last fight as a matter of fact, so home field advantage for Silverio may or may not be a factor here. That said, this is likely to go to decision, so the judges may come into play. Silverio by decision, possibly a split decision.
