No-shows Tampa defeat
FlyweightUFC
December 15, 2024
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 fr 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.

Finds stoppage after brutal start
FlyweightUFC
July 20, 2024
Silva defeated Cody Durden via TKO (punches) at 2:58 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
The victory aside, it's difficult to envision a scenario in which Silva could have looked worse. He was dominated by Durden in every single aspect of this fight prior to the finish. He lazily left his neck exposed and had to fight off submission attempts. He also was able to get nothing going on the feet the vast majority of the fight. But as the old saying goes, better late than never. Silva, who has real power for the flyweight division, popped Durden with an uppercut that sent him tumbling to the mat. He immediately jumped on top and fired off follow-up strikes until referee Chris Tognoni had seen enough. Silva has now won four in a row on the heels of a two-fight losing streak to begin his UFC run, and he'll walk away with a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus for his efforts here.
