Jean Silva knew how to wait to respond to José Miguel Delgado's provocations. The Brazilian faced the prospect in the main event of Noche UFC , held last Saturday (12), and won the fight by submission in the third round. Provoked by his rival before the duel, the 'Lord' wasted no time in getting his revenge after the victory.
Before the fight, José Miguel Delgado provoked the Brazilian on social media by appearing wearing a shirt with the message 'Jean will fall'. After the fight, it was Jean Silva 's turn to respond to the provocation. The Brazilian posted photos of the fight and used the caption 'Delgado fell', directly referencing his opponent's provocation.
