It's Jean Silva Fight Week

[Siver!]

"Who the fuck is Jean Silva?"

Thanks for asking.

Jean Silva is a Fighting Nerds guy (hottest team in MMA?) who overcame Kevin Vallejos (11-0) in a competitive DWCS fight, earned his contract, and promptly tarred and feathered Westin Wilson (no surprise) and Charles Jourdain (very solid win). Jean lost a couple of style points for failing to make weight against Jourdain, but a move up to lightweight saw him take a short notice fight with the mighty Drew Dober.

Jean Silva TKO'd Drew Dober, but more to the point made an absolute mess of that chiseled Action Man face of his:

Anyway, now the Nerd is fighting back at featherweight against Melsik Baghdasaryan. Assuming Jean Silva makes weight, he then has to make a statement against an underrated opponent with nasty striking. This is a fight he cannot afford to lose, and he certainly cannot afford to put a foot wrong on the scales either.

Excited?

There is something different about this guy, he has a crazy mixture of skills, savagery and true martial arts ethos. I think it was him that accidentally eyepoked his opponent, and instead of gesturing sorry to the opponent, he did it to the ref so he would actually slow the fight down. The mentality of this guy is something else.

Was there a 2025 rankings competition thread yet? He would be my lightweight favorite.

He also broke BOTH HANDS in ROUND ONE against Drew Dober - so he started using knees and elbows instead - hence the blood!

Fuck me, I couldn't imagine losing my sex life like that.

I hope he doesn't fizzle out because he's been impressive.

The dude seems emotionally unstable.

That plus devastating power at the lighter weight classes is a liscence to print money!

 

[TITS]

They should be giving him a ranked opponent.

 

[Hymen Crusher]

He seems good. Does he have trouble making weight. I can't remember if he is one of those guys.

He missed weight in one of his fights last year, but thats it as far as I know.

Seriously though, if you are reading this, and you havent seen this guy fight yet, dont miss out cos this dude is seriously one of the most entertaining (and weird!!!!) fighters in the game right now

 

[HHJ]

Like yknow when Oliver Mccall broke down and started crying in his match w Lennox?

Imagine a dude doin that while still beating your ass.

That's this guy, Jean Silva

I saw the Drew fight he looked nasty. 1 weight miss is ok i just wasn't sure becaue he was dropping back down.

[Serge421]

If Jean Silva wasnt a fighter he'd be a rocket scientist for sure
