With an 0-4 Ultimate Fighting Championship record, Daniel da Silva believes his excitement factor can keep him a place on the roster.
Da Silva and C.J. Vergara squared off at UFC on ESPN 43 in March, and the Brazilian fighter was having arguably his best Octagon performance to date in the first round. Having dominated the opening frame, da Silva could not maintain his pace and pressure and ultimately wilted to Vergara to suffer his fourth stoppage loss in a row. The two competitors pocketed “Fight of the Night” bonus checks for their back-and-forth battle, and the fighter known as “Miojo” – a popular brand name of ramen noodles – is not concerned about job security. The 26-year-old spoke to Sherdog about his fight and what he thinks is in his future.
