Former UFC welterweight Erick Silva will finally have his Bellator debut in a matter of a few days. Paired up against up-and-coming prospect Yaroslav Amosov for Bellator 216, the ‘Tiger’ expects to have an experience edge of his undefeataed albeit younger opponent.
A veteran of 15 Octagon appearances, Silva will try to make it two in a row after submitting Nick Barnes with an armbar back at LFA 45, in July 2018. It was a win that brought his record to a total of 20 victories in 30 matches, which the Brazilian believes will be the key for him to have his arm raised against Amosov.
