Looking to join an elite group of fighters in a short-notice opportunity, Jean Silva will be stepping in to face Drew Dober at UFC Denver on July 13 just two weeks after picking up his last win at UFC 303.
Silva (13-2, 2-0 in UFC) has passed every test he has been given in the Octagon with flying colors, most recently becoming the first fighter to knock out Charles Jourdain on the prelims of UFC 303. The win extended his win streak to 10, being undefeated since his fifth professional fight.
Dober (27-13 with one no-contest, 13-7 with one no-contest in UFC) has been with the promotion for much longer than Silva, entering his 21st fight in the Octagon.
