UFC double-champion Henry Cejudo and coach Eric Albarracin broke the news of Bruno Silva’s UFC signing in January. The Brazilian bantamweight said they’re just getting started in his MMA career.
A longtime member of Cejudo’s camp, Silva will finally enter the Octagon at Saturday night’s UFC 243 in Melbourne, Australia, opposite Khalid Taha. The former TUF Brazil alum is 3-1-1 since his appearance on the reality show in 2015. He credits his teammates in Phoenix as crucial ingredients that finally got him in the UFC.
“I was already in the UFC radar for a while,” Silva told MMA Fighting.
