Monk will sprinkle Danny Silva at $6.9K as a high-volume punt. Silva lands 7.3 strikes per minute, attempts takedowns in every fight (seven against Pacheco, four against Almeida), and has yet to be finished. Kevin Vallejos allows nearly six strikes a minute and offers no defensive wrestling, so a few Silva takedowns plus control could derail Vallejos’ hefty $9.4K price tag. Monk still picks Vallejos to win but likes Silva’s combination of pace, grappling, and salary relief to open stars-and-scrubs builds and gain leverage on a card with few live underdogs.
