Gokhan Saki makes his Octagon debut on Sept. 22 in Japan, and Henrique da Silva is confident that he can surprise him at UFC Fight Night 117.

Silva signed with the UFC after a perfect 10-0 record in Brazil, and scored second-round finishes in his first two UFC appearances. With three losses over the past eight months, capped off by a 22-second knockout to Ion Cutelaba in June, “Frankenstein" thought his run in the Octagon could be over.

Instead, he was given a chance to welcome Saki to the UFC at the Saitama Super Arena.
