Jean Silva is scheduled for Noche UFC , scheduled for next Saturday (12), but he already senses a great opportunity in the Ultimate. The Brazilian faces José Miguel Delgado and is eyeing a chance at the featherweight belt (up to 65,7 kg). For 'Nerd', the opportunity may arise at UFC 333, if Movsar Evloev withdraws from the fight against Alexander Volkanovski.

In an exclusive interview with SUPER LUTAS , Jean Silva stated that he is already working with the possibility of Evloev dropping out of the main event of UFC 333. In that scenario, the Brazilian is willing to face Volkanovski for the featherweight title.
