On Friday, Joshua Silveira will debut in his fourth season as part of Professional Fighters League against Mike Shipman. For the eldest son of American Top Team head coach Marcus “Conan” Silveira, this will be a fourth try at PFL gold since signing with the promotion as a former two-division champion in Legacy Fighting Alliance. In his first year, “Coninha” won his first two bouts before losing in the playoffs to training partner Omari Akmedov; in 2023, Joshua won the first three fights but lost the final—and the $1 million prize—to Impa Kasanganay.
