The following moneyline from MyBookie shows that Karine Silva is a slight favorite to win this matchup. This could arguably go in either direction, as both fighters are evenly matched.

This fight could be a toss up, especially if Moroz is able to defend well against takedowns and remain aggressive in her striking to control the pace of the fight. However, Silva has not shown any signs of slowing down, making her the more appealing option to win here.
