A clash of struggling welterweights has been added to UFC Fight Night 95, as Erick Silva will take on Brandon Thatch in what could be a loser-leaves-town kind of match.
Winless in his last three outings, including losses to the likes of Siyar Bahadurzada, Gunnar Nelson and Benson Henderson, Brandon Thatch (11-4) has not scored a win since November 2013, when he finished Paulo Thiago with knees to the body. Prior to that, he TKO'd Justin Edwards in the first round of his promotional debut.
Once a prospect for Brazil in the welterweight division, Erick Silva was never able to put together more than two wins in a row in the Octagon, as he scored back to back submissions wins against Mike Rhodes and Josh Koscheck in December 2014 and March 2015.
