Dinislam Kamavov vs Alex da Silva Prediction: Another Early Win for Both Fighters

On January 20th, the UAE Warriors 46 mixed martial arts tournament will take place in the United Arab Emirates, the main event of which will be the bout between Russian fighter Dinislam Kamavov and Brazilian Alex da Silva.

Dinislam Kamavov is well-known to Russian mixed martial arts fans for his Gorilla Fighting and Eagle FC leagues performances. Interestingly, the Dagestani has won all of his victories early - he is undoubtedly a top grappler, but he has also won often by knockout. Kamavov did not fight in 2023, and in his last bout (December 2022), he finished Kyrgyzstan's Bakhytbek Duyshobay (9-5 record at the time).

Alex da Silva is a 27-year-old Brazilian knockout expert who, like his new opponent, has won all but one of his victories early. Silva also has experience in the UFC, although not very successful - three losses in four fights. By the way, in 2019, Alexander Yakovlev caught him on a guillotine choke at the UFC tournament in St. Petersburg. Alex da Silva fought twice last year, and both times, he won early - knocking out Ali Mashrapov (15-14) via knee and choking out Bagysh Zharmamatov (8-2) in the first minute of the bout.

Here, we have two flashy finishers with obvious defense issues who will go at it from the opening seconds. At the same time, the bout has a good chance of going to the ground, where both have excellent skills. As a result, there is no reason to believe that this fight will drag on - at least it will be over before the final gong.
