Contents

Background

Silva was born on December 13, 1996, in Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná, Brazil. [2] [3] With the support of his wife Carol, Jean found not just a martial art, but also a path to salvation in Muay Thai. [4]

Silva has an alter ego, a distinct identity that, according to him, manifests during his prolonged outings to the octagon or in the course of a fight, which he calls "Lord" or "Lord Assassin." He credits his wife for helping to control this alter ego when it appears outside of his career as a fighter. [5]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

He began his professional career in 2016 and built a record of 10 wins, eight by knockout and two by submission. He lost two matches. [1] [6]

Dana White's Contender Series

Silva faced Kevin Vallejos for a UFC contract on Dana White's Contender Series: Season 7, Week 5 on September 6, 2023. Silva won the contract by defeating Vallejos with a unanimous decision. [7]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Silva made his promotional debut on January 13, 2024, facing Westin Wilson at UFC Fight Night 234. Silva won the fight with a technical knockout in the first round. [8]

Silva was scheduled to face William Gomis on May 4, 2024, at UFC 301. [9] However, the fight was canceled because Gomis suffered a weight-loss-related illness. [10]

Silva then faced Charles Jourdain on June 29, 2024, at UFC 303. [11] At the weigh-in, Silva weighed 147.5 pounds, one and a half pounds over the featherweight limit for non-title fights. [12] The fight proceeded at a catchweight, and Silva was fined 20 percent of his purse, which went to Jourdain. [12] Silva won the fight by knockout in the second round. [13]

Silva, who fought at UFC 303 two weeks earlier, faced Drew Dober on July 13, 2024, at UFC on ESPN 59 in a lightweight bout. [14] [15] Silva won the fight in the third round after Dober was unable to continue due to a cut above his left eye. [16] This fight earned him his first Fight of the Night award. [17]

Silva is scheduled to face Melsik Baghdasaryan on February 22, 2025 at UFC Fight Night 252. [18]
