It’s a key matchup for Silva (12-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC), as he takes on a top-10 opponent of the official UFC lightweight rankings.
“This is my moment,” Silva told reporters at Wednesday’s UFC on ESPN 46 media day. “I’ve been in the UFC for a long time, and I’ve been working for this moment. But yeah, I’ve been training a lot for my whole life. This fight for me is my life, my style. I stayed in the UFC seven years, this is my moment. I’ve worked for this, and I’m very excited, very happy.”
