UFC Vancouver Predictions – Bruno Silva vs HyunSung Park Preview, Predictions And Betting Odds
Bruno Silva vs HyunSung Park brings together two fighters at UFC Vancouver looking to bounce back from disappointing losses. Silva recently suffered a third-round TKO defeat against Joshua Van, which followed an impressive first-round stoppage by Manel Kape. Park experienced his first professional loss when Tatsuro Taira submitted him in the second round back in his last outing.
Both fighters desperately need a win to get their careers back on track and prove their previous losses were just temporary setbacks. Silva has been in the UFC long enough to know how quickly things can spiral downward with consecutive defeats. Park is only 29 years old and still has plenty of time to develop into a legitimate contender. Silva’s chin has taken damage in recent fights, while Park’s submission loss showed he’s not invincible when facing top-tier grapplers.
Bruno Silva vs HyunSung Park Preview
Silva brings a record of 14-7-2-1 NC and stands 5’4” tall with a 65 inch reach. He lands 3.83 significant strikes per minute at 49% accuracy. The problem is Silva absorbs a whopping 4.81 strikes per minute, one of the highest rates on the entire card. His striking defense sits at just 50%, meaning he takes as many shots as he blocks. Silva’s wrestling shows 1.79 takedowns per fight at 23% accuracy, giving him some grappling threat. His takedown defense checks in at 60%, which is average for the division. Silva averages only 0.2 submissions per fight, as his Brazilian jiu-jitsu credentials haven’t translated to many submission attempts in the UFC.
Park enters with an impressive record of 10-1 and stands 5’7” tall with a 66 inch reach. He lands 3.66 significant strikes per minute at 46% accuracy. Park only absorbs 2.94 strikes per minute thanks to excellent striking defense at 59%. His wrestling shows 1.59 takedowns per fight at 33% accuracy, as grappling remains his primary weapon. His takedown defense sits at 50%, which needs improvement but reflects his willingness to engage in scrambles. Where Park really shines is submissions, averaging an elite 2.4 per fight and constantly hunting for finishes on the ground.

Bruno Silva vs HyunSung Park Predictions And Picks
This fight will be decided by whether Silva can land his power shots early before Park drags him into grappling exchanges. Silva needs a knockout to win because his defensive lapses won’t hold up over 15 minutes.
Park’s superior striking defense and submission threat give him multiple paths to victory. If Park can survive the early storm and get this fight to the ground, his elite submission skills should take over. Silva’s chin appears compromised after recent knockout losses, making him vulnerable to getting stopped again.
If we bet on the fight, we are going with HyunSung Park to win via submission.
