Jean Silva may be on the way to a new 'exciting weigh-in' No. UFC Night. The Fighting Nerds representative needed an extra hour to make weight for his last fight, in UFC 314, and, by all indications, the story may be quite similar in its confrontation with Diego lopes, scheduled for September 13th.

In a video published on his YouTube channel, Jean Silva said he went to the market to buy eggs and maintain his diet, but ended up buying a cake in a jar with it. According to 'Lord', this is the reason he is still about 17 kg over the featherweight division limit (up to 65,7 kg) less than three weeks before the UFC Night.
