Jean Silva is not worried about José Miguel Delgado's provocations. The Brazilian faces the Mexican in the main fight of Noche UFC , scheduled for next Saturday (12). Since the duel was announced, the home fighter has raised his voice and started provoking the 'Nerd', a situation that, however, does not seem to bother the fighter.

In an interview with MMA Junkie, Jean Silva recalled his victory over Bryce Mitchell , his last opponent to make similar statements before facing him. The Brazilian stated that the provocations make no difference and indicated that he intends to respond to his rival inside the octagon.

“As they say in Brazil: 'Talk good, talk bad, talk about me. It doesn't matter.' The last guy who said those things, who said he was going to take me down like a dog, ended up sleeping on the mat. So, let him keep practicing,” said Jean Silva.
