This Saturday (12), in Arizona (USA), Jean Silva enters the action in another important commitment in the featherweight division (up to 65,8 kg). In the main fight of Noche UFC , the Brazilian faces the dangerous Jose Delgado . And those who think that the fight is only important for the future of the category are mistaken. In his second event in the franchise, the 'Lord' also seeks to turn things around and erase the bad impression he left in his previous experience, which was traumatic.

In the first round, 'Franja' was far superior, punishing his rival, making him bleed, and almost finishing the fight. In the second round, 'Lord' recovered, even taking the lead, but became careless and ended up being knocked out. Jean was surprised by a spinning elbow from Diego and, on the ground, received a series of punches.

In his next fight, held in January, Jean returned to winning ways. The Brazilian faced Arnold Allen , ignored the loss of his undefeated record in the UFC, and delivered a solid performance, winning by unanimous decision. Now, the member of the 'Fighting Nerds' academy returns to the franchise where he suffered his first defeat, precisely to exorcise the ghost of Diego Lopes.

And Noche UFC 4 started strangely for Jean, as he had to deal with a change of opponent. Originally, the Brazilian was supposed to face Yair Rodriguez , but since Rodriguez was injured, Delgado was chosen for the fight. Determined to redeem himself at the event, 'Nerd' accepted the challenge and exudes confidence that his story in the franchise will be different.

And indeed, Jean has reason to believe in victory, not only because he is a top-level professional, but also because the American is not Diego Lopes . A promising MMA fighter, Delgado is still looking to grow in the UFC and sees the fight against the Brazilian as the most important moment in his career. Therefore, being a complete athlete and more experienced in big fights, 'Lord' can take advantage in the octagon.
