Six months after Anderson Silva’s son scored a win in his amateur Muay Thai debut, the son of another legendary Silva will step into a ring.
Thor Silva, son of former PRIDE superstar Wanderlei Silva, is set to compete under Muay Thai rules for the first time in an amateur bout at Money Belt, a martial arts event scheduled for Dec. 8 in Curitiba, Brazil.
The young Silva has been surrounded by martial arts training since childhood, competing in NAGA grappling tournaments in the United States. The 16-year-old southpaw will fight three two-minute rounds against a yet-unknown opponent at 145 pounds.
