Winner: Karine Silva

Confidence Score: 72

Karine Silva has a significant edge in finishing ability and experience at the UFC level. She boasts 13 first-round finishes and a very high finishing rate overall, with 9 knockouts and 8 submissions in 18 wins. Her aggressive Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu style and 50% takedown accuracy make her a threat both on the feet and on the ground. While her takedown defense is statistically low (0%), her offensive grappling and submission threat have neutralized many opponents. Dione Barbosa is a strong grappler with a solid submission game, but her UFC experience is limited and her takedown defense (43%) is a potential liability against a strong finisher like Silva. Historically, fighters with Silva's finishing profile, UFC experience, and ranking advantage have a strong win rate in similar women's flyweight matchups. Additionally, Silva's superior arm reach and recent form against higher-level competition give her the edge.
