"Diego Lopes delivered a spectacular spinning elbow KO to finish Jean Silva in the main event of Noche UFC. The back-and-forth fight was action-packed, for as long as it lasted- a couple more rounds and fans may have been calling for a rematch. Who knows, one could still materialize down the road. But the loss snapped Silva's 13-fight win streak dating back to 2018. Silva is now 5-1 with the UFC."
"Another good matchup for Silva would be against Patricio Pitbull who is ranked at #11. Pitbull got his first UFC win against #14, Dan Ige, in July, so he's 1-1 now. Pitbull, due to his age and fight miles, has little time to make an impact within the UFC. A matchup with a prospect like Silva could perform a heavy lift for both gentlemen."
Noche UFC lost several fights leading up to the event but delivered an exciting night of bouts. Diego Lopes defeated Jean Silva with a spectacular spinning elbow knockout, snapping Silva's 13-fight win streak and leaving Silva at 5-1 in the UFC. Rob Font was defeated by newcomer David Martinez in the co-main event. All Mexican fighters on the card returned home victorious. Six main card fighters will need matchups moving forward. Ideal future opponents for Silva include Brian Ortega or Patricio Pitbull, depending on Silva's recovery time and potential weight-class considerations. Winner of a Silva matchup could move into the top five.
