UFC Winnipeg: Burns and Malott Clash in Highly Anticipated Preview
The flyweight fight at UFC Winnipeg pits veteran Maryia Jasudavicius against Mariana Silva. Betting markets list Jasudavicius at -300 and Silva at +250.
Records and recent form
Jasudavicius enters with a 14-4 professional mark and an 8-3 UFC ledger. The 37-year-old from Ontario is coming off a quick, high-profile loss to Manon Fiorot last fall.
Silva brings a 19-6 career record and a 5-2 UFC slate. The 32-year-old Brazilian also arrives having lost her most recent bout.
Fighting styles
Jasudavicius is a large flyweight with notable strength and reach. Her pace is methodical and her wrestling is a primary weapon.
She uses clinch trips and throws, and will also shoot a double-leg from distance. On top she is heavy, advances position slowly, and lands measured strikes.
Silva is compact and explosive. She relies on sudden entries and heavy punches to create offense.
Her ground approach favors chaos and scrambles. She often finds openings to strike or secure neck control amid the confusion.
Matchup implications
Physically, the two fighters contrast sharply. Jasudavicius’ size and control match well against Silva’s speed and burst.
Silva can punish stationary opponents with power. But Jasudavicius’ ability to get fights to the clinch and ground plays to her advantage.
Silva’s previous defeats came against durable, defensively sound opponents who could neutralize her explosion. Jasudavicius fits that profile.
Prediction
Unless the Fiorot knockout signals an age-related decline, Jasudavicius holds the edge here. Expect her to slow the pace and impose a wrestling-based game plan.
The most likely outcome is a decision win for Jasudavicius. The call favors her increasingly dominant control as rounds progress.
