Still looking for his first win in the US
Silva lost to Timur Valiev via submission (rear-naked choke) at 2:12 of Round 3 at PFL Fight Night on Thursday in Washington, D.C.
ANALYSIS
Prior to last year, Silva had spent almost his entire career in his native Brazil. In his U.S. debut, he challenged Marlon Moraes for the WSOF bantamweight title and lost via injury stoppage. This was his first fight back following the injury. He was able to land some strikes on Valiev, but unfortunately for him, he had zero answers for the Russian's wrestling game. In the third round, Silva got desperate and tried to stand. Valiev used that opportunity to lock in the fight-ending submission. Silva falls to 25-6 as a professional.
