Since he came into the UFC, Erick Silva has been one of the promotion’s brightest prospects. But he has yet to put together a win streak for the promotion. (A controversial disqualification in his second UFC fight made sure of that.) Next week, he once again tries to get on a roll when he headlines a UFC show for the first time. Silva (16-4 MMA, 4-3 UFC) meets the red-hot Matt Brown (18-11 MMA, 11-5 UFC) in the main event of UFC Fight Night 40 in Cincinnati. It’s a key matchup in the welterweight division.
