Joaquim Silva vs Rick Glenn: Analysis

Silva likes to scrap. He makes it ugly for his opponents inside the Octagon. ‘Netto BJJ’ has a tendency to throw kicks from a distance and eventually tie up his opponents in the clinch. He will look to use that as a game plan against a taller fighter in Glenn.

However, Glenn is a veteran of the sport. His elbows, knees, and punches are a problem for anybody. He might just be able to keep Silva at bay, using his weapons to his full advantage. ‘The Gladiator’ will look to outpoint Silva throughout the contest and might just be able to do that. Glenn should eventually earn a decision in his favor.
