Jean Silva`s confident words are generating significant buzz as UFC 314 approaches.
This Saturday at UFC 314, Silva will face Bryce Mitchell in a prominent main card fight. Silva, known as “Lord,” specifically requested this matchup following Mitchell`s controversial remarks about Adolf Hitler. He has actively promoted the fight, even bringing a globe to the UFC 314 press conference, a playful jab at Mitchell`s flat Earth beliefs.
The controversy surrounding Mitchell, combined with the evident tension between the fighters, has made their upcoming bout one of the most eagerly awaited fights this month. Earlier in the week, Silva went as far as declaring it “the people`s main event,” asserting that he is “carrying this event.”
Despite potentially being seen as the fan favorite leading into Saturday, Silva`s outspoken nature has already drawn criticism from some fans. One fan commented that Silva needs to back up his words this weekend or risk facing “unforgivable shame.”
Here’s a look at some of the strongest fan reactions to Silva’s comments and the anticipation for his fight with Mitchell this weekend.
