To reinforce the optimistic atmosphere, Pablo Sucupira made a bold prediction. In a video posted to Jean Silva 's Instagram stories , the Fighting Nerds leader appears alongside the team celebrating the end of the camp for UFC 324 and asks for a round of applause for the athlete, signaling his belief that the path leads to the top of the division.
"Guys, give a round of applause for the next UFC champion," said Pablo Sucupira.
Jean Silva believes he can compete for the title in the next round.
During a live stream on his YouTube channel, Jean Silva explained that his anxiety for UFC 324 doesn't stem from the fight itself, but from the perception that the UFC sees him as a future champion. The Fighting Nerds representative imagines a scenario where he defeats Arnold Allen by knockout and that, certainly, his next fight will be for the title.
“I’m nervous, and it’s not even about my fight. It’s that the path is very clear: the UFC wants me to be champion. Because, man, I knocked out Arnold Allen … and tell me, what’s the next step? Especially if Diego wins the belt,” said Jean Silva.
