Two of the top featherweight prospects in the UFC are set to throw down early next year. Making his first appearance of 2025, the swiftly rising Jean Silva (14-2 MMA, 3-0 UFC) goes head-to-head with Armenian-born striker Melsik Baghdasaryan (8-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 245 this February. Riding the momentum from a rip-roaring performance versus Drew Dober this past July, Silva has the chance to further his position up the 145-lb ladder after a busy 2024. For Baghdasaryan, getting his hand raised will be a crucial moment for him since suffering a long period of inactivity stretching over 500 days at the time of this writing.
