Three years removed from competition, former UFC light heavyweight contender Thiago Silva makes his return to action against a familiar face. Silva (21-9) will share the cage at Eagle FC 47 with former teammate and current BKFC champion Hector Lombard on Friday at FLXcase Arena in Miami. Lombard (34-10-1) recently told MMA Junkie about the tough training sessions he and Silva shared at American Top Team, which the hard-hitting Brazilian confirmed. “Hector was a great teammate, to be honest,” Silva told MMA Junkie Radio.
