Fourth straight knockout win
Silva defeated Melsik Baghdasaryan via TKO (strikes) at 4:15 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Seattle.
ANALYSIS
The Fighting Nerds team from Brazil has quickly developed into one of the top training camps in the sport, and Silva is one of the main reasons why. The 28-year-old just picked up his fourth straight knockout win since officially joining the UFC roster back in January 2024. It would also go on to earn him a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus on a night filled with other stoppages to compete with. Baghdasaryan is a tough opponent in the stand-up and Silva was able to put him away with relative ease. "Lord" is becoming a big star in short order and spent his post-fight interview calling out Bryce Mitchell. Considering Mitchell's recent controversial comments, it's a bout the company may look to book.

Slated to face Baghdasaryan
Silva will take on Melsik Baghdasaryan in a featherweight bout at UFC Seattle on Feb. 22, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Silva will look to remain perfect in the UFC. He's currently sitting at 3-0, with his most recent victory coming over Drew Dober back in July. His opponent, meanwhile, is also coming off a win, taking care of Tucker Lutz via unanimous decision. Silva gives up two inches of height to his opponent, as well as an inch of reach.

Earns second win in two weeks
Silva defeated Drew Dober via TKO (doctor stoppage) at 1:28 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Denver.
ANALYSIS
Make that two victories for Silva in the span of two weeks, in two different weight classes. He took out Charles Jourdain at featherweight in Las Vegas and got Dober here at lightweight in Denver. Silva is way undersized for 155 pounds, but he has legitimate power in his hands, and although he gets hit a bunch at times, he seems to roll with the punches and handle the damage well. He won this fight because he landed the far more damaging blows, opening up a gaping gash over Dober's right eye which eventually led to the doctor stopping the bout. On top of the victory, he'll walk away with an extra $50,000 after this back-and-forth affair was awarded Fight of the Night honors. Silva now has three knockout victories on his ledger since officially joining the UFC roster this past January.

Finds new opponent
Silva is set to fight in a lightweight matchup against Drew Dober at UFC Denver on July 13, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Silva is off to a hot start in the UFC with a 2-0 record after knocking out Charles Jourdain in Round 2 at UFC 303 in Las Vegas, making it his second knockout victory. He will face Drew Dober, who had a last minute opponent change after Mike Davis suffered a biceps injury. Dober is looking to get his first victory of 2024 after suffering a loss against Renato Moicano back in February.

Shines following weight miss
Silva defeated Charles Jourdain via KO (punch) at 1:22 of Round 2 at UFC 303 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Silva likely would have been in the running for a post-fight bonus given how great he looked. As is, he's not eligible because he missed weight by 1.5 pounds Friday morning. Facing an opponent on Jourdain known for his toughness and durability, Silva simply overwhelmed the Canadian. He landed countless damaging power shots, including two knockdowns. Now 2-0 in the UFC with a pair of knockout wins, Silva has a boatload of potential if he gets the weight-cutting issues under control. For what it's worth, he said in his post-fight interview that he was right on schedule Friday before falling down a set of stairs and being unable to cut any more. Seriously.
