Misses weight, fight still on
Silva missed weight for his scheduled fight against Marc-Andre Barriault at UFC 315 on Saturday, according to Alexander K. Lee of MMA Fighting.

Fighting at UFC 315
Silva will match up against Marc-Andre Barriault at UFC 315 on May 10, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Silva, who was most recently taken down by Ismail Naurdiev at UFC 308, will face off against Marc-Andre Barriault in May. Both fighters are riding multiple fight losing streaks in what figures to be a desperate fight to keep their long fighting careers alive.

Losing streak hits four
Silva lost to Ismail Naurdiev via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC 308 on Saturday in Abu Dhabi.
ANALYSIS
That's Silva's fourth straight defeat dating back to June 2023 and will almost certainly signal the end of his time with the company. Known for his knockout power, Bruno's offensive output on the feet has dried up completely. He landed just 36 significant strikes in 15 minutes here. He also allowed three takedowns and gave up 5:51 worth of control time. His explosiveness is gone, which perhaps shouldn't come as a surprise given the fact the Brazilian turned 35 years of age in July. If this is indeed the end, Silva closes his UFC run with a horrific 1-6 finish in his final seven bouts with the company.

Looks to avoid fourth-straight loss
Silva will fight Ismail Naurdiev at UFC 308 on Oct. 26, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Silva is on his last legs in the UFC after losing three in a row and five of his last six overall. He simply isn't able to match the pace of his opponents on the feet, and the lopsided striking totals cause him to come out on the short end of decisions. He'll get one more shot against Naurdiev, who isn't a particularly high-volume striker either.

Set for six-month ban
Silva has accepted a six-month suspension for a "likely unintentional" violation of the UFC's anti-doping policy, according to Shaun Al-Shatti of MMAFighting.com.
ANALYSIS
Silva tested positive for the presence of 3a-Hydroxy-2a-methyl-5a-androstan-17-one, a metabolite of drostanolone, in an out-of-competition urine sample collected on April 11. Since the suspension is retroactive to the date of his positive test, Silva will be cleared to return to active competition on Oct. 11, but it's unclear if that'll give him time to schedule another fight before the end of the year. The 35-year-old UFC veteran has lost three consecutive bouts and five of his past six.
