Joshua Van and Bruno Silva are gearing up for another showdown. This time, it’s set for the June 7 pay-per-view in Newark, N.J.
MMA Fighting confirmed this exciting rematch after a report from Marcell Dorff broke the news. Always keeping us on our toes!
UFC 316 will light up the Prudential Center in Newark. But wait—no headliner announced yet. Suspense is in the air!
Originally, Van (13-2) and Silva (14-6-2, 1 NC) were supposed to clash on March 8 in Las Vegas. Fate had other plans—Silva was sidelined by injuries. Van stepped up against Rei Tsuruya, clinching a decision win and extending his streak to three victories. He’s now cruising at 6-1 since joining the UFC.
Silva? He’s hungry for redemption after a tough third-round loss to Manel Kape. Before that hiccup, he was unstoppable with a pristine 4-0 record, each win coming with a $50,000 bonus. Quite the rollercoaster ride!
