Jean Silva raised the tone against Aljamain Sterling . After defeating José Miguel Delgado at Noche UFC , held last Saturday (12), the Brazilian became the target of the former bantamweight champion (up to 61,2 kg), who challenged him even after stating that he would not accept facing him with little preparation time . The change in posture did not please the Brazilian.

In a statement to 'Full Send MMA', Jean Silva criticized Sterling's attitude and called him a "wimp". The Brazilian also recalled that the American had said he wouldn't fight him in a short preparation period and questioned the former champion's trajectory, stating that he achieved more in three years than Sterling did in five.
