da Silva vs Altamirano Prediction

UFC 278 da Silva-Altamirano prediction is from Tapology Fight Predictions.
Winner: Victor Altamirano (86%)
Method of Victory: Decision (78%)

Tapology sees Victor Altamirano as the favorite here and it's tough to disagree. He was on a four-fight winning streak before it was snapped by Carlos Hernandez, but the loss only came by split decision. It was also only the second loss of his entire MMA career.

Meanwhile, Daniel da Silva has decisively suffered back-to-back losses. Jeff Molina first knocked him out just 46 seconds in Round 2 during their fight at UFC Fight Night 196 before Francisco Figueiredo forced da Silva to submit in less than 90 seconds in the latter's last outing four months ago.

With "El Magnifico" being somewhat of a submission expert, I'm going with an Altamirano submission win at +230 here.
