Surging featherweight favorite, Jean Silva is slated to make his next outing in the Octagon as soon as February 22. — booking a pairing with Armenian contender, Melsik Baghdasaryan at UFC Fight Night Seattle in the new year.
Silva, who is yet to crack the featherweight top-15 — has enjoyed an impressive unbeaten run in the Octagon since his promotional bow back in January, most recently stopping lightweight veteran, Drew Dober with a crushing knockout courtesy of a bloody doctor’s stoppage win at UFC Fight Night Denver back in July.
And as for Baghdasaryan, the Armenia native returned from his first promotional defeat back in July of last year, remaining sidelined for over an annum since his decision win over Tucker Lutz.
