Across six UFC fights in the dataset, da Silva’s results show a clear finishing tendency—both in his wins and in several of his losses. His career summary lists one knockout win and one submission win, with no decision wins. On the other side, he has two knockout losses and one submission loss, plus a unanimous decision loss that went three rounds. The recent-fights list suggests a pattern of volatility. Two of his four most recent losses ended in round 1 by KO/TKO, while another loss came by submission in round 2. That distribution implies that when fights accelerate early, outcomes can be decisive, although the sample is small. From the available per-minute striking metrics, da Silva averages 3.89 significant strikes landed per minute (SLpM) while absorbing 5.28 (SApM), alongside 40% striking defense. As careful inference, that combination can indicate he has spent stretches of fights on the wrong side of volume and clean connections, but it does not, by itself, identify the specific tactical causes. Grappling stats show low offensive takedown volume (0.25 takedowns per 15 minutes) and modest submission averages (0.2 per 15 minutes), while takedown defense is listed at 22%. Inference should be cautious here: low averages could reflect style preference, opponent dynamics, or limited minutes rather than an absence of grappling ability.
