Igor da Silva is ready to move forward with his mixed martial arts career.
Da Silva, who is also commonly known as Igor Severino, will return to action against Jonas Magard at Oktagon 65 on Dec. 29, the promotion recently announced. It is da Silva’s first bout since he was disqualified for biting opponent Andre Lima in their encounter at UFC on ESPN 53 on March 23. Severino vs. Magard will be contested at bantamweight.
As a result of his actions, the 21-year-old Brazilian was immediately released from his UFC contract.
