Bruno Silva: Seasoned Brazilian aiming to protect his top-15 status
Bruno “Bulldog” Silva (14-7-2, 1 NC) enters UFC Vancouver ranked #14 in the flyweight division, looking to halt a tough recent run against rising Korean prospect Park Hyun-sung. The Brazilian has been a fixture of the division for several years, known for his explosive starts and fight-ending ability. After a rocky start to his UFC career, Silva rebuilt momentum with four consecutive finishes, proving his power and killer instinct were very much intact.
However, the 35-year-old has since hit a difficult patch, suffering stoppage defeats to elite competition — Manel Kape, currently ranked #7, and Joshua Van, the division’s #1 contender and upcoming title challenger. Despite those setbacks, Silva remains a dangerous and experienced veteran with a knack for fast starts and dynamic striking. His style is built on fast, twitchy movement, heavy feints, and sharp power punching, particularly in the opening rounds. While he’s a capable grappler with a submission threat, Silva tends to fade as fights progress, where his cardio and durability have come under scrutiny.
Park Hyun-sung: The surging Korean prospect steps up
Park Hyun-sung (9-1) continues his rise through the flyweight after earning his UFC contract through Road to the UFC with two first-round finishes. Park carried that form into the Octagon, winning three straight fights — all by stoppage. A short-notice defeat to Tatsuro Taira (#5) in August 2025 ended that streak, but given the circumstances and calibre of opponent, his reputation remained largely intact.
Park is a powerful pressure fighter who thrives when he can close distance, mix boxing combinations with wrestling, and maintain a relentless pace. His game revolves around forward pressure, positional control, and sustained output that wears opponents down. Against Carlos Hernandez, Park demonstrated his trademark style — forcing his opponent back, securing the takedown, and finishing with a choke. With 90% of his wins coming by finish, he’s proven himself a consistent threat wherever the fight goes. The main question now is whether he can translate that success against ranked opposition — and this bout provides the perfect opportunity to find out.
Bruno Silva vs Park Hyun-sung prediction
This fight pits Silva’s experience and early firepower against Park’s pace and pressure. Silva’s ranked pedigree and explosive striking make him a live danger in the first round, especially if he can establish his timing and rhythm early. Yet, as the minutes tick by, his tendency to slow down could open the door for Park’s relentless aggression.
Park’s ability to blend striking and wrestling fluidly should prove the difference. He’s the younger, fresher fighter with better cardio and a more consistent game plan across three rounds. Expect Silva to land early, but Park’s volume, composure, and transitions between phases should gradually take over. Once he finds his range and begins forcing exchanges, his mix of boxing, clinch control, and grappling pressure could overwhelm the veteran.
Prediction: Park Hyun-sung to win inside the distance
