“It would be a banger, we would slug it out the entire time,” Silva said. “It would be a very technical fight because it’s the highest level. F*ck, everybody would love this fight, no doubt about it. He has talked about going down, so here I am. If he comes down, I know a superflyweight.

In case Cody doesn’t accept his proposal, he is ready to face the fellow Brazilian flyweight Rogerio Bontorin, who won his last fight against Matt Schnell. He said, “Bontorin is ranked high and it’s a good match-up for me. I think I’m better than him in all areas. It would be a great fight for me.”

Silva had a rough start in the UFC, losing three fights in a 12-month period, but now he is looking better than ever, with an extra $50,000 bonus in his last fight, he is motivated to face some tougher challenges.

“I’ve always trained well with high-level guys in the gym, but when you go out to prove yourself you start to question yourself,” Silva said. “Can I really beat these guys? You start to question yourself; you have that doubt in your mind, but your confidence returns once you’re able to prove yourself and people start believing in you.”
