Jean Silva Offers Help to Charles Oliveira: 'I Know Exactly How to Imitate Topuria'

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

​

Jean Silva is willing to lend a helping hand to Charles Oliveira in his latest bid for lightweight gold.


After Dana White confirmed that Islam Makhachev will go up to welterweight to fight against Jack Della Maddalena for the welterweight belt and former featherweight king Ilia Topuria will face Charles Oliveira at UFC 317 for the vacant lightweight belt, “Do Bronx” received an unexpected offer from The Fighting Nerds representative.

“I believe that if Charles fights like in his last fight, he will pass over Topuria,” Silva told AgFight. “Anyway, I'm available to help him with his sparring. I know exactly how to imitate Topuria, even his facial expressions.”

The statement was a surprise for Brazilian MMA community after Fighting Nerds leader Pablo Sucupira compared their rivalry with Chute Boxe to the Brazilian Top Team-Chute Boxe battles of the Pride Fighting Championships era following Ian Garry’s recent victory over Carlos Prates.

UFC 317 takes place on June 28 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. In addition to the Topuria vs. Oliveira headliner, Alexandre Pantoja will defend his flyweight belt against Kai Kara-France in the evening’s co-main event.

Jean ‘El Matador’ Silva

 

[VinceArch]

Oliveira is the original fight nerd.

 

[HCS]

To hell with rivalries. It's all hands on deck to beat that little shit.

 

[Guy LeDouche]

Jean Silva seems like he makes grill chee at night

 

[RockyLockridge]

somehow I highly doubt that

 

[Fact Checker]

Whether you like him or not Jean Silva is one of the most physically gifted fighters in the UFC, there’s not a lot of elite level athletes like Topuria in MMA you gotta take what you can get. Jean also has that non telegraphed power to help give Charles some looks.

 

[Aurelian]

somehow I highly doubt that

I wouldn't be surprised if a team called Fighting Nerds have been examining Ilia's style to see what could work and possibly as a future opponent.

 

[Aurelian]

Charles has the skills already to deal with Topuria. The problem is his chin and having to go 5 rounds with Topuria without getting blasted and KO'd.

 

[John makfresshi]

Really hoping that chin holds up for one last time!!! War Do Bronx

 

[Hymen Crusher]

Feel bad for charles getting koed soon but it is what it is.

 

[Lord Pyjamas]

Oliviera is the man!
Not really sure I understand this new fighting nerds shit though..
Is it cringe? But that is no longer a thing according to my friends teenage daughters..

 

[whocares]

That's just what he says to get into camp with Olives so he can knock his ass silly

 

[MRT]

Crushing the flat earther Nazi lover? Helping the beloved 'do Bronx' beat smug Ilia?

Jean Silva might become the next UFC Forrest Griffin Community Award winner for his noble contributions! lol

 

[TimeToTrain]

I have a feeling Topuria will KO/TKO Charles, unfortunately. Huge Do Bronx fan here but he’s taken a lot of damage throughout his career and is on the verge of retirement.

 

[Natural Order]

If Charles fights him like he did Dustin he’s going fucking night night…
