Jean Silva’s stoppage win over Drew Dober at UFC Denver took a toll on Brazilian.
Silva stepped up on short notice and moved up a weight class to replace Mike Davis in a lightweight bout against Dober at UFC on ESPN 59 in Denveron Saturday. This also marked a two-week turnaround from Silva’s brutal knockout win over Charles Jourdain at UFC 303.
Silva was faster and cleaner on the feet, opening Dober up above the right eye in the opening round, eventually leading to the finish.
