For most of his UFC tenure, Sam Silicia could guarantee one thing: He was coming in to do some damage, consequences be damned.
More often than not that attitude resulted in an exciting fight. What wasn’t guaranteed was whether it was Silicia or his opponent who would be left looking at the lights. Inside the Octagon, he won three fights by knockout, but was finished in five others.
Sicilia went 5-7 in the UFC before being released last May.
He resurfaced in Bellator later that year, but his new bosses didn’t give him an easy welcome.
