Erick "GOAT" Silva Making LFA Debut

[ChinaMMABlog]

BAM! The GOAT is back ... this time on the regional circuit.

 

[Danespina]

Good place for a fighter his age to develop.

 

[007]

promising young man with high level potential

 

[europe1]

Hope he won't have the same problem Marcin Held had when he was to young to legally enter the venue.

 

[Underdog bjj jp]

So young and full of potential

 

[JayPettryMMA]

Gotta go to the regionals and get more experience. He'll be back, he's still young. Hasn't even reached his prime yet.

 

[Turkleton]

good career move by him

he got thrown to the wolves in the UFC way too early in his career.

he still has all the time in the world, so he can get some more experience in smaller leagues before getting that UFC gold

UFC just destroyed its future.

I bet in a few years, LFA is running the whole game.

 

[Pierced7681]

Who’s the next Brazilian prospect now? The Eraser?

 

[wilKO]

LFA has a bright future

 

[Les Vejtibals]

Silva’s sting a young enough prospect to make another title run in the UFC.

He's just gotta bulk up again.

insert top prospect Erick Silva comment here

 

[chrisdiaz]

Too bad this is so close after UFC 226 or I might go. LFA always has great fights.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Looking forward to post-USADA Erick Silva

 

[MartiniSIDe]

Good for him.

Leading a card at his age is pretty phenomenal. He's gonna be back with ton of experience.

 

[Stargazer Rex]

He’s only 22, he has the whole world in front of him.

 

[ThinkBig500]

Damn shame they let him go so early. Some people lose some at first, but young prospects like him learn quickly. Big mistake Dana

 

[WalkenWouldOwn]

So young tho

 

[Sauce Castillo]

Look at the age gap between those 2 guys.
