Picks, Best Bets for UFC Fight Night: Lopes vs. Silva

Published:

By: Ryan Wohl

Tonight at Noche UFC, No. 2 Diego Lopes is facing No. 10 Jean Silva in the Main Event. Lopes is coming off a loss to Alexander Volkanovski, while Silva recently finished Bryce Mitchell. Rob Font battles David Martinez in a 135-pound bout in the co-main event.

Here are my best bets for tonight’s Noche UFC event.

Jean Silva to Win by KO/TKO/DQ or Submission (-120)

Jean Silva has been one of the most entertaining fighters in the UFC since entering the promotion in 2024. Since then, Silva has gone 5-0 with five finishes. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Silva is a -238 favorite while Diego Lopes is a +195 underdog.

In this matchup, Silva is the better striker, and it is unlikely that Lopes will be able to handle the pressure and pace that Silva brings. Lopes has won 15 of his 16 bouts by knockout or submission, making it best to get him at -120 to pick up the finish.

Rob Font Moneyline (-120)

Perennial top 15 Bantamweight contender, Rob Font, is attempting to increase his win streak to three when he takes on David Martinez. Font is an 11-year UFC veteran and has 18 more fights in the UFC than Martinez.

Font is a -120 favorite with Martinez being a +100 underdog on DraftKings Sportsbook. Font has a three-inch advantage in height (5’8″ vs. 5’5″) and standing reach (71″ vs. 67″), which should allow him to get the best of Martinez on the feet.
