Bruno Silva admits he feels the need to pinch himself sometimes.
“I’m living my dream now,” he told Sherdog.com. “The moment I step into the cage and I see what’s happening, I tell myself, ‘Wow, I’m actually living through all of this.’ I’m very happy with everything. I’m very thankful and happy.”
The 34-year-old Brazilian will look to establish himself as a legitimate contender in the Ultimate Fighting Championship flyweight division when he faces former Rizin Fighting Federation titleholder Manel Kape in a featured UFC on ESPN 63 attraction this Saturday at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.
