UFC 315 betting breakdown: Alexa Grasso

Grasso moves forward and puts out a lot of volume with her strikes. However, her landing rate in her past three outings has been 32 percent, 41 percent, and 18 percent, which she will need to improve on against an opponent as talented as Silva.

Best Bets: UFC 315: Alexa Grasso Vs. Natalia Silva
This matchup could be a changing of the guard at the top of the UFC women’s flyweight division. While Grasso is talented and has looked very good at 125 pounds, her run as the top contender for the title will end at UFC 315. Silva is simply better than Grasso at every aspect of the fight game. Silva looks like a future UFC champion. She will take the next step toward that goal at UFC 315.
The betting pick is for Natalie Silva to beat Alexa Grasso via decision at UFC 315.
