News Jean Silva is back against Melsik Baghdasaryan the 22nd of February at UFC FN Seattle

[Koala]

Jean Silva is fighting Baghdasaryan, Woodson is fighting Padilla, Gomis is fighting Amil while Mitchell is defending his ranking against Kron Gracie

 

[JohnCena27]

I was hoping that he would fight someone from the top 15

 

[Outsider524]

Yeah what is this fight? I was hoping he'd atleast get a short notice fight so I could watch him fight soonish. Now they got him fighting a dude in February he could likely fight with his eyes closed that also hasn't fought since July of 2023. That nobody has heard of

Hopefully something changes obviously don't want to rush dude but this is a big step back from the Dober fight. But that's just my opinion

 

[HoiceNJuicy]

Silva TKOs a stud like Drew Dober on short notice and then he gets matched up against some no name?

Dats some BULLSHIT!

 

[EndlessCritic]

strange matchmaking. don't care. will watch.

 

[sdpdude9]

More random matchmaking. Silva should be getting a step up, Baghdasaryan is ok but this is a step backwards.

 

[The_Renaissance]

Very weird fight indeed, step down for Silva.

 

[fortheo]

UFC matchmaking is shit and one of the biggest issues in the organization.

Why does that look like Daner?

That's usually the UFC's way of doing things unless the fighter is already a name.

"Hey, thanks for saving the card and stepping in on short notice to fight! The next opponent you face is even lesser known than your last opponent."

 

[MartiniSIDe]

Really weird match making but Melsik is a really good striker.

Not an easy fight for Silva

 

[alchemy]

Jean Silva will be champion one day, dethroning Ilia Topuria in an upset TKO.

 

[Ares Black]

Should be a fun fight if it stays standing. Baghdasaryan is a very good striker.

 

[Tweak896]

Silva could be a star, but the UFC is wasting him time with no names after taking out Dober. Stupid. Still always excited to watch a Jean Silva fight, but the guy has earned a name.

 

[Cameron]

Love this never heard of the opponent. Hopefully it's a highlight reel to help build the hype before getting a shot a a ranked opponent

 

[Kwic]

Jean is a must watch TV at this point.
So I'm happy to watch but yeah, strange booking.

 

[DrRodentia]

Guys, Melsik is coming off of a win against consensus future champion Tucker Lutz. Don't count him out.

 

[Raise Your Fist]

I love Jean Silva

 

[Mickey Mick]

I love Jean Silva

I also enjoy Jean Silva.

 

[Safton]

Sometimes I feel like Melsik and Armen Petrosyan the same fighter at different weight classes.

Anyway... Jean should win this. Melsik is a good striker, but nothing he does jumps off the page at me. Jean looks terrifying inside the cage.
