Through the ESPN+ UFC Denver post-show, UFC analyst Din Thomas made the case for Silva to get a Featherweight title shot subsequent.
“Man, I imply, Jean Silva is one thing else; he’s completely nasty,” Thomas mentioned. “I used to be watching the struggle subsequent to Mick Maynard, the matchmaker, and I’m sitting there saying if this man could make 145, let’s simply put him in there with Ilia Topuria now. Yeah. He seems to be the half. His hanging seems to be the half.”
Yeah, that may be a preposterous thought from Thomas. Kamaru Usman, who was on the post-show with Thomas, rightfully advised him to decelerate with the title shot thought.
Whereas Silva has had an unbelievable two weeks—stopping Dober final evening and knocking out Charles Jourdain at UFC 303—he’s nonetheless a UFC rookie and solely has three fights beneath his belt. Plus, the Brazilian missed weight at UFC 303.
