Expert Betting Tips
With two wins from last year and against a 40-year-old who has returned to the UFC after a two-year break to have a child, Silva is understandably the clear favorite to win. A closer look at the fighters shows that Mayra Bueno Silva, now fighting at 135 pounds, will have to deal with a stout clinch wrestler in Lina Lansberg. The experienced Swede has survived in the UFC for six years. Currently on a three-match losing skid, the “Elbow Queen” has gone the distance in all three of them losing by decisions, with two of the decisions coming after a break to give birth. Though on her way down, the Muay Thai queen will not succumb easily to the rising Brazilian.
