Just over four months after his first UFC loss to Diego Lopes, Jean Silva will be back in the Octagon on Saturday at UFC 324 against Arnold Allen.And in this final stretch before the fight, fans have been able to closely follow the ‘Lord”s final steps via his YouTube channel. Last Thursday, Jean opened his last training session for fans at The Fighting Nerds.
“Folks, let’s clap for the next UFC champion,” coach Pablo Scupira said after Silva finished his final sparring session.”You can expect a much better version of Jean than with Diego Lopes. He will win and with a great performance,” coach Flávio Alvaro guaranteed. The video ends with Silva arriving at Sao Paulo airport and boarding a plane to Las Vegas with his wife.
In a subsequent video, recorded last Saturday and published on his YouTube channel on Sunday, Jean can already be seen in the house he rented with his team, eating strawberries and revealing that he still had to lose seven kilos to gain weight. The cut doesn’t seem to be a problem for Silva.
“Today is Saturday and now I only have seven kilos left. It will be much easier than the last times,” the Fighting Nerd said, showing that his optimism was reflected by the app he uses to show him all his stats daily during camp. “My team today, including coaches and trainers, consists of 22 people, but that’s a lot of people to take with me. For the fight I only take those who are really needed.”
Nervous energy
During a livestream on his YouTube channel, Silva also explained that his fear of UFC 324 doesn’t exactly stem from the fight ahead of him, but from the perception that the UFC sees him as a future champion.
“I’m nervous, and it’s not even about my fight,” Silva said. “It’s that the path is very clear: the UFC wants me to be champion. Because, man, I knocked out Arnold Allen… and tell me, what’s next? Especially if Diego wins the title.”
