While Jean Silva is one of the most aggressive MMA fighters, outside the octagon, he is one of the last romantics. Whenever he can, the UFC featherweight (up to 65,8 kg) top fighter shows his love for Carolina de Castro, his wife. And, with plans to marry his beloved, the Brazilian is even more motivated to headline Noche UFC , an event that takes place this Saturday (12), in Arizona (USA).

Furthermore, the story of Jean 's wedding has already become known, and there is new information. Previously, the Brazilian revealed that his dream is to have Belo sing at the party and proposed that, if Dana White hired the professional, he would be his best man. Upon learning of the fighter's request, the executive, surprised, laughed and implied that he agreed to the idea.
Now, 'Lord' has updated the 'saga' in a positive way and made a point of expressing his gratitude to the fans and the UFC leader for helping him experience an excellent moment both personally and professionally. As could be expected, Jean, excited about his future with Carolina, has even envisioned what their perfect wedding would be like.
"It's already paid for. A guy with Dana's word wouldn't go back on it. So, I can say with complete certainty that it's paid for. The moment we decide to get married with the belt right there beside us. Arriving at the wedding with the belt, me and my wife, with my friends. I even called Belo yesterday. He didn't answer, but he replied, saying I just had to call him."
"So, I'm very happy with this recognition from Dana. To look at it and accept that it was just a joke. He really agreed to be a part of it. Imagine, in life, we can only get married once in church and we'll have this guy involved, even more so as a best man. I can say that I'm very fortunate."
