Cody Durden Shares What Changed His Mind About Fighting Teammate Bruno Silva

Cody Durden recently revealed why he accepted a fight against teammate Bruno Silva after initially turning it down.

Durden (16-5) and Silva (13-5) are slated to lock horns in a flyweight bout at UFC on ESPN 60 at The Apex in Las Vegas this weekend. Durden revealed that he was initially hesitant to accept a fight against his American Top Team teammate.

However, when their manager Ali Abdelaziz proposed the matchup, Silva allegedly accepted it, saying they were adults. That permanently flipped the switch for Durden who now wants to see blood come fight night.
