Bruno Silva won’t let any outside pressure get inside his head as he enters his UFC Vegas 22 flyweight fight with JP Buys on Saturday night, but knows his job is on the line.
“Bulldog” was signed by the UFC on the heels of his friend Henry Cejudo’s success in the company, but lost via submission to Khalid Taha in his debut. The bout was later overturned to no-contest after his opponent failed a drug test.
After ended up losing two entertaining decisions in a row to David Dvorak and Tagir Ulanbekov, Silva walks to the cage on the last fight of his current deal with the UFC in a must-win situation.
