The Dynamic And Boisterous Jean Silva Steamrolled His First Five Opponents In The Octagon To Earn His First Headlining Gig At Noche UFC On September 13
Five finishes in five trips to the Octagon is one way to get noticed. Another way to stand out is to have such a large, infectious personality that people cannot help but tune-in to your fights. Jean Silva brought both to the table after earning his contract on Dana White’s Contender Series in 2023. He, along with fellow Fighting Nerds Caio Borralho, Mauricio Ruffy and Carlos Prates, broke through in a big way in 2024 and, for the most part, have continued that momentum as they’ve climbed the ladders of their respective divisions in 2025.
