Snaps brief losing streak Silva defeated Hyun Sung Park via submission (rear-naked choke) at 2:15 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Vancouver.

Impact Fresh off back-to-back third-round knockout losses to arguably the two top contenders in the division in Joshua Van and Manel Kape, Silva found himself a surprising +175 underdog here against Park. He quickly reminded everyone he remains a threat at 125 pounds. Silva did enough on the feet to get his grappling game going. He turned five successful takedowns into 4:49 worth of control time and the rear-naked choke which closed the show. Silva may not be a legitimate contender, but he's an easy top-10 guy at flyweight.

Fighting Park in October Silva will face Hyun Sung Park at UFC Vancouver on October 18, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.

Impact Silva will head into the bout looking to bounce back coming off back-tback defeats at the hands of Joshua Van and Manel Kape in June and December, respectively. The 35-year-old Brazilian will have to overcome a height disadvantage in comparison to the younger Korean fighter. With a balanced professional record across all finishes, Silva will be able to keep his options open against Park, though he will have his hands full considering the Korean's 10-1 professional record across all finishes.

Not competitive in Jersey loss Silva lost to Joshua Van via TKO (punches) at 4:03 of Round 3 at UFC 316 on Saturday in Newark, New Jersey.

Impact Silva was routed from start to finish and was extremely lucky to last as long as he did. Bruno's striking defense has never been very good and that was a recipe for disaster given Van's all-world speed and creativity on the feet. It took three knockdowns and countless unanswered blows before referee Vitor Ribeiro had finally seen enough. Now 35 years old, Silva has lost back-to-back bouts on the heels of a four-fight winning streak. Of course, those two defeats came against Van and Manel Kape, two guys pushing their way towards the top of the rankings at 125 pounds.
