The analysis
Van holds significant statistical advantages across multiple dimensions. His striking volume (8.39 SLPM vs Silva's 4.12) and accuracy (53% vs 49%) give him a clear edge in the stand-up exchanges. Van's defense is also markedly better at 58% compared to Silva's 41%, suggesting Silva will absorb significantly more damage. In the grappling department, Van's takedown accuracy (63% vs 27%) and takedown defense (83% vs 73%) further cement his advantage. Silva's inconsistent weight class history (moving between middleweight and flyweight) contrasts with Van's consistent flyweight competition. Van's recent form shows improvement with back-to-back decision wins, while Silva has alternated between wins and losses. The volume differential will be the deciding factor as Van outworks Silva to a clear decision victory.
Joshua Van has a higher strike rate and better takedown accuracy and defense. His overall win rate is also higher.
