Fifth straight stoppage win Silva defeated Bryce Mitchell via submission (ninja choke) at 3:52 of Round 2 at UFC 314 on Saturday in Miami. Impact We've reached the point that we should probably just assume all members of the Fighting Nerds are going to win their respective fights impressively until proven otherwise. Silva has been killing it since officially joining the UFC roster back in January 2024 and this was his most impressive win to date. He stuffed 10-of-11 takedowns attempts and beat Mitchell up on the feet before clamping on the ninja choke in an instant to put him away. Silva is now 5-0 with the company, with all five wins coming via stoppage. The Brazilian has a loud, abrasive personality that is going to turn some people off, but his performances inside the octagon have been elite thus far.
