Prediction, pick for Fabian Edwards vs. Josh Silveira

Fabian Edwards is facing Josh Silveira in the main event of tonight’s PFL semifinal card. Tonight’s PFL event is in Chicago, Illinois, and will air live on ESPN at 10:30 p.m. ET.

Here is my pick for tonight’s PFL Main Event between Edwards vs. Silveira on DraftKings Sportsbook.

Fabian Edwards To Win By KO/TKO/DQ (+250)

Edwards has lost both Bellator championship opportunities to Johnny Eblen, but has responded well after each defeat. He knocked out Impa Kasanganay in April in his second bout in the PFL. If Edwards wants to work his way back to a world title, a victory is necessary against Silveira.

Edwards is a big -500 favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook, with Silveira being a +380 underdog. But getting Edwards to win this contest via KO/TKO/DQ at +250 is a good play considering his last win was a knockout.

This is an excellent position for Edwards to extend his winning streak to two against Silveira, who has lost two of his last three fights. A knockout is possible if Edwards can use his four-inch edge to reach his advantage. Edwards has had a tough schedule lately, and Silveira is not nearly as accomplished as his past opponents. In this fight, Edwards must follow a game plan similar to his brother, Leon. Edwards needs to attack Silveira early in the fight with combinations to break him down and set up a knockout later in the contest.
