CURITIBA, Brazil — Bruno Silva scored the biggest win of his MMA career in June, and that sort of changed his plans for the future.
Four months after stopping Gennadiy Kovalev in the opening round under the RCC banner in Russia, Silva fought former Bellator champion Alexander Shlemenko in his M-1 Global debut, and needed less than three minutes to win by knockout.
Winner of 13 of his last 14 fights, Silva says he’s returning to Russia to fight 11-0 middleweight champion Artem Frolov.
”I’ll fight Frolov for the belt on Sept. 29 in Moscow,” Silva told MMA Fighting.
