CHRIS WEIDMAN vs. BRUNO SILVA

Chris Weidman is an American fighter debuted in UFC in 2011. it seems the veteran is on the wane as of late however and with him having lost 4 of his last 5 fights he needs a win to keep his career alive. His most recent fight was in August last year where he lost by decision to Brad Tavares.
Bruno Silva is a Brazilian fighter who is known for his powerful striking and he has won 4 and lost 4 of his 8 fights in the UFC so far. Recently he has also not been on good form losing 4 of his last 5 fights with his most recent loss being by decision against Islam Magomedov at UFC 294.
