Bruno Silva believes UFC Brasilia opponent change benefited him

BRASILIA — Changing your opponent days or weeks before an important fight could affect your whole preparation, and Bruno Silva gives his honest take on how his experience was ahead of UFC Brasilia.

To sum it up in two words, it helped.

Silva was slated to face Su Mudaerji in the preliminary portion of UFC Brasilia on March 13, but the Chinese bantamweight had to withdraw from the card after his camp was affected by the coronavirus outbreak in his home country.

The UFC was quick to find a replacement, signing Czech Republic’s David Dvorak.
