Just two weeks after pulling off a highlight knockout at UFC 303, Jean Silva put on another spectacular performance with a hard-fought victory over Drew Dober at UFC Fight Night Denver.
Dober put on a striking clinic in the fight, being creative in his strikes and well-timed with his attacks. For all that Silva dished out, however, the veteran fan favorite took it and then some, continuing to come forward with his attack in spite of the damage Silva was placing on him. Dober, in fact, was already bleeding in the first round.
Despite a strong second-round performance, Silva rocked Dober at the end of the round with an elbow, with the formerly ranked contender arguably being saved by the bell.
Dober was cleared by doctors to continue into the third round, but an elbow less than two minutes into that final frame brought the action to a conclusion due to a gnarly cut.
Fans React As Jean Silva Scores Second Finish In Two Weeks At UFC Fight Night Denver
Silva is now 3-0 in the UFC. The Dana White’s Contender Series alumnus fought just two weeks ago, scoring a second-round knockout of Charles Jourdain at the International Fight Week pay-per-view.
Dober, meanwhile, has now lost three of four following a three-fight win streak.
