Jean Silva`s confident pronouncements leading up to UFC 314 are definitely creating a stir among fans.
This Saturday, Silva is set to face Bryce Mitchell in a highly anticipated main card fight at UFC 314. Silva, nicknamed “Lord,” specifically requested this matchup following Mitchell`s controversial remarks about Adolf Hitler. He has been actively promoting the fight, even bringing a globe to the UFC 314 press conference, a jab at Mitchell`s flat Earth beliefs.
The controversy surrounding Mitchell, combined with the evident tension between the two fighters, has made their upcoming bout one of the most eagerly awaited fights of the month. Earlier this week, Silva amplified the hype by declaring it “the people`s main event” and claiming he is “carrying this event” himself.
Despite some viewing Silva as the fan favorite in the lead-up to Saturday, his assertive demeanor is already causing friction with some fans. One fan even commented that Silva must perform this weekend or risk facing “irreparable shame.”
Take a look at some of the most notable fan responses to Silva`s comments and the upcoming clash with Mitchell this weekend.
