The ever-sincere Jean Silva was not at all happy with the reaction of the fans immediately after the main fight of Hype FC Brasil 2. At the event held last Wednesday (8), in São Paulo, the Brazilian faced Marlon Vera in a grappling duel, which ended in a draw. As the encounter did not please the fans, the bad boy of the 'Fighting Nerds' academy turned against them after the boos.
Jean's dissatisfaction with the critics was so great that he didn't hesitate to challenge them to a fight. In the ring, the athletes studied each other for long minutes and only truly engaged after the first boos arose. The UFC fighters exchanged neck grabs, takedowns, and the Brazilian was the one who tried to finish the fight the most, but Vera was alert.

Even though he accepted the fight hastily, the Ecuadorian defended himself against his opponent's attacks. Since there was no submission, the main event of the second Hype FC event in Brazil ended without a winner. In any case, Jean, who had the support of the fans at the beginning, openly expressed his irritation with the booing and showed his willingness to continue fighting in the ring, considering such a reaction exaggerated.
"Guys, you who are booing, seriously, take off your shirts and fight me," said the fighter.
Jean's retrospective on Hype FC Brazil
Interestingly, Jean Silva competed in both events that the Russian organization held in Brazil. In the first show, which took place in March in Rio de Janeiro, the sixth-ranked UFC featherweight (up to 65,8 kg) fighter drew with Bryce Mitchell . Now, the Fighting Nerds bad boy also drew with Marlon Vera.
