Gets his wish with Mitchell fight
Silva will take on Bryce Mitchell in a featherweight matchup at UFC 314 on April 12, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Silva has all the momentum in the world with four consecutive stoppage victories to start his UFC run, with the last two ending in post-fight bonuses to boot. He was able to capitalize on this momentum by calling out the controversial Bryce Mitchell following his first-round stoppage of Melsik Baghdasaryan in February. Mtichell has had a target on his back due to some recent controversial comments, so Silva was smart to call him out quickly, and his spot in the rankings could be on the line as well. Mitchell last fought in December with a stoppage win as a heavy favorite over Kron Gracie, but it had been a year between fights before that, as he was knocked out brutally by Josh Emmett in December of 2023. Mitchell's best asset is his wrestling game, but Silva will look to utilize his 80 percent takedown defense to keep this on the feet.

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.

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.
