Jean Silva`s strong words leading up to UFC 314 are definitely causing a stir.
This Saturday, at UFC 314, Silva will face Bryce Mitchell in a prominent main card fight. “Lord” Silva requested this matchup after Mitchell`s offensive remarks about Adolf Hitler. Silva has been actively promoting the fight, even bringing a globe to the UFC 314 press conference, referencing Mitchell`s flat Earth beliefs.
The controversy around Mitchell and the tension between the fighters have made their Saturday bout one of the most highly anticipated this month. Earlier this week, Silva went as far as calling it “the people`s main event,” claiming he is “carrying this event” single-handedly.
While some might see Silva as the fan favorite going into Saturday, his outspokenness is already irritating some fans. One fan commented that Silva must perform well this weekend or risk facing “irredeemable shame.”
Take a look at some of the best fan reactions to Silva`s comments and the upcoming fight with Mitchell this weekend.
