Scheduled for the main fight of Noche UFC , this Saturday (13), Jean Silva has not limited himself to just preparing to face his rival Diego Lopes . In recent days, the Brazilian has also been involved in an exchange of provocations with Paulo Borrachinha , former challenger for the middleweight belt (up to 83,9 kg).
During an interview on the Full Send Podcast , Jean admitted he didn't like his compatriot and even promised that, if the encounter were outside the octagon, the situation could end in a fight, possibly involving a stick. His statement caused a stir and quickly generated a response from Borrachinha on social media.

“Like Borrachinha, I don’t like him, I hate him. I’m terrified of him. Of course I’m not going to fight him, right? He’s much bigger than me, he’ll break me. But if it’s in the street, all hell will break loose,” Jean Silva exclaimed.
“You little dwarf, naughty child, you are too small for me,” Borrachinha replied in a post on X.
Jean Silva is looking for his sixth consecutive UFC victory in San Antonio and, consequently, a place in the top 3 of the featherweight division to qualify for a title shot. Meanwhile, Borrachinha, coming off a win against Roman Kopylov in July, has been linked to a fight against Shara Magomedov at UFC Qatar on November 22nd.
