Winner: Danny Silva
Confidence Score: 66Danny Silva holds key physical and statistical advantages in this featherweight matchup. He is 5 years older, has a 4-inch height, 2-inch arm reach, and 2-inch leg reach advantage, which is significant in striking exchanges. Silva's striking accuracy (59%) and defense (62%) are both higher than Vallejos' (51% and 57%, respectively), and his takedown accuracy (47%) and perfect takedown defense (100%) give him more paths to victory, especially against a pure striker like Vallejos who has 0% takedown accuracy. Vallejos is dangerous with early KOs and has a strong record, but Silva's durability (avg. fight time 15:00 vs. 6:51) and ability to win decisions suggest he can weather early storms and take over late. Historically, featherweights with Silva's size, accuracy, and wrestling edge have a higher win rate over younger, power-focused strikers, especially when the latter lacks proven takedown defense and depth in the UFC. Silva's recent form and multi-dimensional skillset make him the more reliable pick.
