Are the Fighting Nerds just all hype? Well, things haven’t been going their way lately, with Jean Silva being the latest of the bunch to suffer defeat. The Brazilian fighter secured a main event spot at UFC Noche, but it ended up being a nightmare for him, as he got knocked out by Diego Lopes. With that loss, as expected, Silva wasn’t very happy with the outcome. He visibly broke down in tears after the fight.

‘Lord’ Silva is usually known for his high energy, but the loss against Diego Lopes gave him no reason to be happy. Several video clips on social media showed the Brazilian fighter having a conversation with UFC’s Hunter Campbell after his fight, and Silva looked, heartbroken, having broken down in tears. It really was a significant defeat for the Fight Nerds member, as Silva was seen almost delivering a cheap shot after losing to Lopes. He could have faced suspension, but didn’t.

The Fighting Nerds featherweight star looked absolutely devastated after losing to Diego Lopes. While talking to Hunter Campbell, he wasn’t the jolly and smiling guy he usually is. Silva’s hands were on his head as he entered a trainer’s room to cater to the injuries he sustained during the fight against Lopes.

Clearly, it wasn’t Silva’s night and did not take the referee’s decision kindly either, seemingly disagreeing with the way the fight ended. This is why he almost sucker-punched Diego Lopes after the fight. And Lopes response? Instead of getting angry, he advised Silva to “train more.”

Diego Lopes has advice for Jean Silva

To build a fight in the current times, talking is very important. This helps in garnering interest during the build-up to a fight, and the Fighting Nerds’ Jean Silva had done that before his UFC Noche fight. However, that did not bode well for him as he lost in dominant fashion and got bloodied by Diego Lopes. As such, the former title contender shared some sage advice to the up-and-coming contender.

“Maybe train more. Talk less,” said Diego Lopes during the post-fight press conference. The former title contender did not like the way Jean Silva reacted after the fight. The cheap shot he tried to throw at Lopes after losing the fight, didn’t affect the latter in any way, shape, or form. Instead, featherweight title contender seemed calm and collected as always.

Well, the win could see Diego Lopes land another title shot against Alexander Volkanovski. The Aussie star has mentioned time and time again that he always welcomes a fight against young contenders. Is that rematch happens soon, we can place our bets that no one would be complaining. But on the other hand, what’s next for Jean Silva? Difficult to say, as of now. Nevertheless, let us know how you think about Jean Silva’s loss at UFC Noche down in the comments.
