Jean Silva is stirring the pot ahead of UFC 314, and reactions are pouring in.
This Saturday’s showdown features Silva against Bryce Mitchell on the main card. Silva, who dubbed himself “Lord,” called for this fight after Mitchell’s shocking remarks about Adolf Hitler. Oh, and he brought a globe to the press conference—Mitchell’s a flat Earth believer, by the way.
With all the buzz around Mitchell and their rivalry, Saturday’s bout is one of the month’s hottest tickets. Earlier this week, Silva went bold, dubbing it “the people’s main event” and claiming he’s “carrying this event” on his shoulders.
But wait—Silva’s not all sunshine and rainbows to everyone. His confidence is rubbing some fans wrong. One even said if he doesn’t deliver, he’ll face “irredeemable shame.” Harsh!
Take a look at some top fan reactions to Silva’s bold words and the upcoming clash with Mitchell this weekend.
