Bruno Silva knew he needed a statement performance in the final fight on his contract at UFC on ESPN 21 . Brazil’s Silva (11-6-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC) delivered with a second-round TKO of J.P. Buys (9-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) in their flyweight bout, which opened Saturday’s card at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Silva was sharp from the jump, landing on Buys with strikes and controlling the grappling. He turned it up to another gear in the second frame, however, landing multiple clean shots and dropping Buys all over the canvas until getting the finish at the 2:56 mark of the round.
