Heavy-handed Bruno Silva is all set to take on one of the most decorated strikers to ever step in to the Octagon in his next outing: none other than former Glory double-champion Alex Pereira.
It’s a much anticipated booking for ‘Blindado’, against an opponent who has a lot of hype behind him—in part due to Pereira’s pair of kickboxing victories over middleweight champion Israel Adesanya. And while ‘Poatan’ is clearly a formidable fighter, Silva’s coach, Andre Dida, expects that experience will guide them past Pereira, and maybe even steal a little limelight in the process.
In an interview with Combate, Dida explained how he feels that being a better mixed martial artist will be crucial to bring Silva the win.
