As if Jean Silva wasn’t unhinged enough, he ruffled some more feathers with his latest victory against Melsik Baghdasaryan. The Brazilian fighter from The Fighting Nerds team extended his winning streak to 12 following his fourth back-to-back promotional win and finish. And, the aftermath of the fight was short and succinct—Jean Silva issued the following callout to a certain top featherweight from Arkansas, “Bryce Mitchell. Dana put me in front of him and I’ll do the job.”

But that wasn’t all. Later, in a backstage interview, Silva had some words for his insane first-round KO win over Baghdasaryan and also didn’t miss an opportunity to once against direct shots at ‘Thug Nasty’. He said with the help of a translator, “Bryce Mitchell! Up your moth—you know Bryce Mitchell has talked a lot of shi—and I don’t wanna jump on the rankings or something but I think daddy’s home and needs to put some things for the kids.”

With a victory at UFC Seattle, ‘Lord’ had previously promised to break into the top 15 and fight Mitchell. Now it looks like he’s moving closer towards realising that dream. But what did Bryce Mitchell think about the Brazilian phenom targeting him? Expectedly, ‘Thug Nasty was not quiet after the callout and gave his reply on social media. “There’s only one LORD. And it ain’t u fool. U need a country a– whooping. It will humble u just rite,” Mitchell posted on X.

A win over Mitchell would be a huge leap for Silva, and if he continues this kind of performance, he could very well find himself fighting for a title soon. Even Dana White said during the post-fight presser in UFC Seattle that there people in the fight community want to see this fight come to life. With the latest victory, Silva is 4-0 in UFC and is well on his way to breaking into the top 15 rankings in the featherweight category. And someone as dominant as Jean Silva hasn’t shied away from sending a strong message to the rest of the division.

Jean Silva is coming for everyone in the featherweight division

‘Lord’ is proving to be a force to be reckoned with in the featherweight division. He has promised to not only dominate at featherweight but also disfigure every fighter in the division. Silva messed up Drew Dober’s face so badly that the doctors had to intervene to stop the match.
