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.

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.
