Daniel Da Silva vs Victor Altamirano Prediction

This is the first fight of the card, so this kind of means we have to gamble on it. Da Silvia enters this one as the dog and is currently being priced at +140. He enters this fight representing a record of 11-3 overall. He has won five of those fights via submission. Da Silvia makes way of Brazil and is an exciting fighter who has had success in his young career. He is just twenty-six years old, and the future will be bright for him.

Altamirano comes into this fight with a record of 10-2 and will look to improve on that this weekend. Nicknamed el magnifico, he is a young fighter who fights with supreme confidence. He is a decent-sized favorite for a reason and will look to prove why on Saturday. 

I am backing Altamirano here this weekend on the money line. The line is -165 right now, which I think will go up, by the way, but I still find value in -165. This is a guy who should be closer to -200 here. He is fighting with confidence right now, and his style of fighting matches up extremely well here.

Da Silvia could be too aggressive here early, which could cost him. I expect Altamirano to sit back and fight a relaxed fight and win this one for us. Let’s keep rolling!
