Sat May 10 20:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Barriault Favored Over Silva in UFC 315 Bout Despite Chin Concerns
**Las Vegas, NV** – Marc-Andre Barriault is favored to win his upcoming UFC 315 fight against Bruno Silva, despite concerns over his chin, according to fight analyst Sean Zerillo. Silva’s recent struggles, including four consecutive losses and a weight miss before the fight, further contribute to the prediction.
Zerillo highlights Barriault’s superior cardio and striking output as key advantages. While Silva possesses significant knockout power, his hittable nature and recent decline in performance raise questions about his ability to withstand Barriault’s sustained pressure. Barriault’s vulnerability to knockouts, demonstrated in recent losses, is a significant counterpoint.
Zerillo suggests betting on Barriault to win outright, potentially even with a point spread, or on the fight going the distance. He also sees value in betting on a Barriault decision victory. However, he cautions against betting heavily on Barriault winning by a significant margin due to Silva’s potential for a knockout blow. A live bet on Barriault after the first round is also suggested, should he survive an early exchange.
The analyst concludes that while Silva’s apparent lack of commitment to the fight and Barriault’s chin issues present risks, Barriault’s overall advantages make him the more likely victor in what is anticipated to be a high-action fight at UFC 315 on May 10th.
