Drops decision in Vegas
Silva de Andrade lost to Miles Johns via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
A low output fight such as this one in which there wasn't a whole lot going on is not the ideal scenario for the soon-to-be 39-year-old Silva de Andrade. The Brazilian was the slightly more active fighter, but managed to land just 36 total/significant strikes over the course of 15 minutes. Johns wasn't much better, connecting on 52 of his own, but Miles landed what would be termed the harder blows. Silva de Andrade has fought just seven times since November 2019, sporting a 4-3 record over that span. He's alternated wins and losses in his past four fights.
