Karine Silva vs. Ariane Lipski should be an entertaining flyweight bout, with both fighters possessing the ability to end the fight quickly. Lipski's striking is no joke, but our UFC picks believe Silva can handle the heat.Karine Silva vs.
Even if she can stuff Silva’s takedowns and avoid her submissions, I believe Silva has the goods in the striking department to boot. It should be competitive, and it could be a fun brawl, but I’m picking Silva’s overall skill set over Lipski’s recent form.Lipski’s recent run has been unexpected — winning as an underdog in each of her last three fights — but Silva represents a tougher challenge.
Prior to her recent run, Lipski did have a tendency to make costly mistakes that led to her getting blasted out. It also wasn’t that long ago when she was being dragged to the ground and pounded out by fighters with less of a grappling game than Silva. Though I don’t think Silva gets it done in the first, I also don’t feel this fight goes the full distance with how these two tend to fight.
