Diego Lopes absolutely worked Jean Silva - Looked worst than it actually was.

Diego has an iron chin and good fight iq for his opponents. He knew if he got tagged and backed up that would be how Silva would build momentum, as he bullies his opponents and overwhelms them with varied power strikes. By staying his his face, not engaging in the awkward mind games and forcing the pressure he made Silva get emotional and want to be the bully still instead of adapting.

Casuals think Diego was in danger of getting stopped

Dude, he got bashed up quite a bit. He got hit with a combination that made his legs buckle. You dont need to be an expert to know that is not good.

Silva has the physical gifts to be something great. But hes too wild, too unfocused. The energy and approach is erratic. If they can find a way to get it harnessed he can make the climb I think to a title fight. Lopes is already well on his way back to that picture.

Silva is still more interesting than Diego.

Sure Diego can rematch Volk and wait for 25 minutes again. Yaay.

Nah, Silva was finding his range and landed some pretty nice shots that would have put a lot of guys down. Then he got over zealous and ate a nasty counter elbow. Not an easy fight at all, it was a dogfight.

After he was sliced up in round 1 boy did he get emotional
