Patricio Pitbull seeking Jean Silva spectacle

Patricio Pitbull rallies for Jean Silva fight.

Patricio Pitbull secured his second UFC victory and a potentially career-defining win by knocking out Doo Ho Choi in the first round on Saturday. This significant triumph marks a turnaround for the Brazilian, who had previously struggled with the promotion, resulting in a 1-2 start. With his career nearing its end, Pitbull is eager for the next challenge and has set his sights on fellow Brazilian, Jean Silva.

Silva, known for his impressive record within the UFC, stands at #5 in the featherweight division with a flawless 7-1 record. While it may seem unlikely that the fight would materialize, the possibility cannot be discounted. At the age of 39, Pitbull is keen to make a bold move towards the UFC title scene. In an interview, Pitbull explained why a match against Silva would be an exciting contest, suggesting that their contrasting fighting styles could result in either a hard-fought battle or an easy win for the Brazilian.

He also mentioned that he believes he can exploit weaknesses in Silva's game, citing his performance against Choi as evidence. Despite acknowledging that Silva might avoid him, Pitbull remains confident that he can secure a victory. He has no injuries and is ready to fight as soon as the UFC calls.
