Bruno Silva was given a longer leash than most by the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Now, he gets his opportunity to reward the company’s loyalty.
The former M-1 Global champion will confront Marc-Andre Barriault in a three-round middleweight tilt as part of the UFC 315 undercard on Saturday at the Bell Centre in Montreal. Silva, 35, enters the Octagon on a career-worst losing streak, having lost consecutive bouts to Brendan Allen, Sharabutdin Magomedov, Chris Weidman and Ismail Naurdiev.
