PUBLICITY:

Known for his keen technical eye in MMA, Jean Silva drew attention by revealing a specific detail that, according to him, helps explain Alex Poatan 's dominance on his feet. During a recent seminar, the fighter analyzed the Brazilian's distance control and highlighted a fundamental aspect of body mechanics that makes a difference in striking exchanges.

By dissecting the style of the UFC light heavyweight champion (up to 120,2 kg), Jean detailed the fighting style used by Poatan, emphasizing the importance of hip positioning during attacks and movements, especially in the low kicks characteristic of the fighter.

“Do you see Poatan fighting? He fights like this, maintaining distance, so as not to lose his hip position. You see when he kicks the calf: he doesn't throw his whole leg off-center. His hip stays in place. He doesn't lose his hip position. Every time you kick and lose your hip position, you'll get hit. So, if you can understand this, it will be much easier,” he explained.

Jean Silva sets his sights on a UFC title fight against Volkanovski.

Jean Silva is already planning his next steps in the featherweight division and makes it clear that his goal is to get closer to a UFC title shot. Even though he's not in Alexander Volkanovski 's immediate plans , the Brazilian is looking for ways to improve and increase his chances of facing the champion in the future.

In an interview with the channel 'Laerte Viana na Área – MMA', the fighter revealed a bold strategy: training alongside Ilia Topuria , former champion of the category and responsible for a remarkable victory over the Australian. According to Jean, the idea is to absorb experiences and technical details from someone who has already found ways to overcome his rival, even though he recognizes the risks involved in this type of preparation.

“If Volkanovski really gets off the treadmill and signs the contract, for sure… but I understand him (Volkanovski): 37 years old, wants to retire with nine title defenses to surpass José Aldo , who is the greatest of all time. I understand him, but if Volkanovski accepts, I will definitely go after Topuria, I hope he doesn't take it badly. I'll ask for help; how could I not ask for help from someone who beat (Volkanovski)?”

"I know my team is with me on this; I wouldn't go alone, it doesn't make sense. I'm going with my team so we can learn, or I'd even find a way to bring Topuria to Brazil for an exchange program and help not only me, but the whole team," said Jean Silva in the interview.
