Henry Cejudo, Michael Chiesa, and others react as Jean Silva returns to the win column at UFC 324
The MMA world has reacted to the featherweight bout between Jean Silva and Arnold Allen, which kick-started the UFC 324 main card with a bang.
Allen, who had been sidelined for months with a shoulder injury, fought a more calculated bout, found his range early, and showed no signs of ring rust. However, it was Silva who ended on a high note.
The Brazilian landed the better shots in every round, dictated the pace, and even took his opponent down a couple of times. ‘Lord’ hunted a fight-ending blow in every second of the fight.
However, the Brit’s distance management, staying outside Silva’s firing range and refusing to meet the latter in the center of the octagon, prevented ‘Lord’ from getting the brawl he wanted.
After 15 minutes, Jean Silva secured a unanimous decision win (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) to return to winning ways.
