“(This fight) became (people’s main event) because I promoted it. Let’s be real, who’s carrying this event on their shoulders? When was the last time we saw a press conference like this? It was Conor (McGregor). No one else has done it. And it’s not fake. I love it all. I’ve imagined myself doing it a million times. And wait for the next one, I’ll do it even more.” Jean Silva in an interview with journalist Guilherme Cruz, from 'MMA Fighting'.

The UFC answered quickly Jean's wish after winning Melsik Baghdasaryan by knockout UFC Seattle. He asked the American on the microphone and the organization responded. Bryce mitchell, which was already involved in controversies supporting Nazism, he returned to the center of speeches controversial and this also promotes the duel in the opinion of the Brazilian featherweight (up to 65,7 kg).

“There’s also the fact that he’s talking a lot of shit. Even the Americans hugged me because of the shit he said. And that’s okay, man. He’s a redneck. After I beat the crap out of him and get my bonus, get my money, we’re going to celebrate at a redneck party. It’s kind of crazy because I just came from an Armenian party, because Melsik was Armenian, and now I’m going to a redneck party. So cool. Let’s go!” Jean Silva in the interview.
