Meerschaert vs Silva Prediction

UFC on ESPN 41 Meerschaert-Silva prediction is from Tapology Fight Predictions.
Winner: Bruno Silva (88%)
Method of Victory: KO/TKO (87%)

Despite being the clear underdog, Gerald Meerschaert has fought well lately. He won three consecutive matchups by submission before losing by unanimous decision to Krzysztof Jotko in his last fight. Nevertheless, Meerschaert needs a huge effort to beat Bruno Silva, who's been near unstoppable lately.

Silva went 17-1 across 18 fights before Alex Pereira beat him by unanimous decision back in March. Still, it's hard not to be impressed by what Silva accomplished, including 15 knockout victories over that stretch.

As great as Meerschaert can be at times, he doesn't have the striking skills to go toe-to-toe with Silva. Look for Silva to get back in the win colum with a KO/TKO victory this Saturday.
