Puelles (12-4), once seen as a rising submission threat, has stumbled in his last two fights and needs a decisive win to reclaim momentum. Losses to Dan Hooker and Fares Ziam aren't bad, but a third consecutive loss will have him with his back against the wall. Silva ((13-5) the veteran striker with a reputation for durability and power, enters hopeful that his experience and stand-up skills can outlast Puelles' grappling game in what promises to be a tactical but intense clash.
