With ‘three knockouts’ in 18 seconds, undefeated heavyweight Henrique Silva eyes chance in the UFC

Henrique Silva made his Jungle Fight debut this past Saturday, and he couldn’t have expected a better result. The 31-year-old heavyweight improved to 5-0 with an 18-second knockout over Johnny Walker, but his win could have been even faster.

"I wasn’t expecting to win that fast, but I kind of knew I would win exactly like that," Silva told MMA Fighting. "I studied his game a lot, knew that he throws a lot of kicks, front kicks and leg kicks, so I planned on countering that. But I wasn’t expecting to win that fast."

Silva dropped his opponent with only seven seconds into the bout, but Walker kept coming back.
