BRASILIA -- Erick Silva desperately needs a win at UFC Fight Night 95, so he made a lot of changes in his life.
Booked to fight Luan Chagas at Saturday night’s event in Brasilia, Brazil, after losing back-to-back fights to Neil Magny and Nordine Taleb, Silva decided to move back to his hometown Vila Velha, Espirito Santo. The 32-year-old welterweight, who trained at Kings MMA for his last fight, felt that the cons of being away from his son were bigger than the pros.
"I spent some time in California and it was an amazing experience, one of the biggest technical evolutions I had," Silva told MMA Fighting.
