Jean Silva entered enemy territory on short notice to face an always-dangerous Drew Dober, and picked up his second win in two weeks. At UFC on ESPN 59 at Ball Arena in Denver, Silva (14-2 MMA, 3-0 UFC) not only stepped up as a replacement for the injured Mike Davis, but also moved up a weight class to meet Dober (27-14 MMA, 13-10 UFC) at lightweight. The fight turned out to be an incredible battle that ended at 1:28 of Round 3 due to a nasty cut over Dober’s right eye. Early on, it was apparent the judges’ input was not likey to be needed. The feel-out process didn’t last long, as Dober and Silva began firing hard shots as the opening round progressed.
