Maycee Barber vs Karine Silva - AI generated fight pick

Maycee Barber is the pick due to her more well-rounded, UFC-tested skill set and superior striking metrics. She holds a significant edge in significant strike accuracy (53% vs 38%) and defense (55% vs 52%), and her takedown defense (54%) is far superior to Karine Silva's (11%), which is a major liability for Silva against strong wrestlers and clinch fighters. Barber has consistently faced and beaten higher-level opposition in the UFC, is younger (27 vs 31), and has shown improvement in her fight IQ and ability to win decisions. While Silva is dangerous early with her submission game and first-round finishes, Barber's durability and ability to avoid submissions against proven grapplers give her a strong edge over three rounds. Historically, fighters with Barber's blend of striking, wrestling, and experience have a high win rate against submission-heavy fighters with poor takedown defense at this level.
