Set to fight Van
Silva will fight Joshua Van at UFC 313 on March 8, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Silva's disappointing loss to Manel Kape in December put a screeching halt to his four-fight win streak. He'll attempt to get back in the win column in March, though momentum will favor Van, who won three of his four fights in 2024.

No-shows Tampa defeat
Silva lost to Manel Kape via TKO (punches) at 1:57 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Tampa, Florida.
ANALYSIS
To say Silva no-showed the biggest fight of his career would be a massive understatement. He was so bad that the highlight of his evening was the three low blows landed on Kape, which forced referee Keith Peterson to deduct a point in Round 2. Silva served as a punching bag the entire fight before getting overwhelmed for good a couple minute into Round 3. Silva entered having won four in a row, but they all came against lower-end competition. This performance shows there's a monumental gap between the Brazilian and the best the UFC's flyweight division has to offer.

Draws Kape in Tampa
Silva will take on Manel Kape in a flyweight matchup at UFC Tampa on Dec. 14, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Silva is inching closer to the flyweight title picture following four consecutive wins, but he's due for a tougher test, and Kape is it. Although Kape is coming off a lost, he did have a four-fight winning streak of his own prior to that, and he didn't take a high degree of damage in that defeat. A win here would earn Silva a top-10 spot in the division's rankings.
