LAS VEGAS – At just 20, Igor da Silva is the newest addition to the UFC flyweight division. Jungle Fight champion da Silva (8-0) earned his contract Tuesday at Dana White’s Contender Series 63 when he f inished Jhonata Silva (8-2) by second-round TKO at the UFC Apex. Despite being so young, the undefeated Brazilian received high praise from UFC CEO Dana White, but da Silva isn’t looking to rush his way to the top. He wants to make his UFC debut against someone with similar experience as him
