Jean Silva is a monster talent.... Can he be a contender in 2 divisions?

[ExitLUPin]

Wow he just announced himself this year. First to KO Jourdain and then a month later completely pulverized top 20 LW Dober up a weight class in Denver altitude

Borralho is on his team but he is clearly the best talent in that camp

 

[Jinx_AA]

Dobers a fun fan favorite , but he’s not a wrestler nor a technical striker … he’s a sloppy power punching brawler … a technical striker like Silva always going to have his number

Good win for Silva … but not sure id call him a monster talent yet …. He might be though - who knows - we’ll find out

Great fight

I don't think he can, but we finally agree on something. He is talented and he continues to impress.

Jean Silva is very talented, but you are wrong.

Mauricio Ruffy is, by far, the best talent at Fighting Nerds academy not Jean Silva.

Just wait and you will see how great Ruffy is.

And keep in mind that Caio Borralho said is Takedown Defense is the greatest that he ever saw.

Feed him to Josh Emmett

Dober has some clean Muay Thai bro, his offense is top notch but I do concede that his defense is lacking. He’s still a gritty tough striker with an iron chin and cardio for days.

Jean Silva going up in weight and flying to Denver to fight in nearly 6000ft elevation on two weeks notice is quite noteworthy.

Dom sees something in him and many of us saw it when he became the first to knock out Jourdain two weeks ago. He’s got some impressive timing, composure, and his eyes are constantly catching his opponents tiniest mistakes.

I have to say I’m impressed, the fighting nerds are definitely doing something right. They’re churning out some top notch prospects.

Insane fighters FTW

 

[Travis Alexander]

Beautiful performance coming up a weight class and out gunning one of the most powerful strikers in the LW division. I am stoked to see more from him. Fighting nerds are an insanely talented team.

The very best academy right now here in Brazil.

hes actually the most gate keeper fighter among gate keepers.. not an insult per say.. just if he was in PRIDE he'd be the prey for the real ninjas and killers to look good against beating up an almost cartoonishly looking chad chin..

Idk bout that but the Dagestani was taking him down fairly easily until he gassed on the contenders series

 

[Neck&Neck]

I’m surprised dobers chin held up

Big fan of Lord Silvas fighting skills and antics
He’s quite the character
He doesn’t look like he should have the power that he does in his shots at first glance
but he nukes guys

Are you talking about Ruffy vs Raimond?

He didn´t take Ruffy down, reawatch the fight. Ruffy defended 3 times.

And Ruffy fought him at Welterweight not in LW.

 

[Plissken]

I see the name and always think of the old school Jean Silva that fought Gomi.

 

[Xoleth]

Nope
I am a Dober fan, but he is a sloppy striker, like someone said.
And Dober had some good moments during the fight.
I don't see Silva beating top fighters.

He is like an uglier version of Michael Chandler, but more technical.

 

[ryun253]

He looks promising, but a skilled striker SHOULD do that to Drew Dober

I liked his UFC debut.

 

[Tapatio]

I dont think he can make 145 any more. 155 is where he should be, fighting normal sized people

Maybe I'm wrong, but i want more boxing style matchups in MMA like in PRIDE. Feed some of these killers an ninjas easy prey and make them feel invincible, then have the top clash in huge hyped up events

 

[DownwardDoug]

Two divisions? Is one of them 135? When he's looking small against Dober of all people, 155 isn't for him.

Unlike a previous post, his "antics" just strike me as the kind of things you rarely, if ever, see from top level guys. The forced "nerd" gimmick, distracting yourself with excessive displays of respect during the fight, crying after anything but a title win or your retirement fight; to me, it all seems like prelim-level mentality.
