After Diego Lopes was able to take every punch from Silva, where many of those would have finished Lord's previous opponents, the FW striking sensation got lost and
reckless in wanting to crack Lopes. It all ended with him getting caught by a spinning elbow, and the durable Mexico representative finishing Silva instead.
The Brazilian was riding a 13-fight win streak when he got handed his first loss in MMA since 2018.
Upon his return to the octagon four months later, Jean was seen in an octagon where the UFC lightweight belt stood on display, ahead of Justin Gaethje's third try to
seize it - the American having tapped out to both Nurmagomedov and Oliveria as a title challenger. Now facing another fighter who focuses on grappling in Paddy Pimblett.
Jean Silva was clearly emotional by the sighting, breaking down into tears and crying out loud noises in front of cameras. A fighter who has reached the top and holds
a belt is middleweight's Khamzat Chimaev, and when seeing the footage he had to chime in with some well-meaning advice in the comments.
The UAE represantative emphasizing that building up this drama and spectacle around a belt won't be to his favor, but he can get there with his focus on the gym.
