One of the quirkiest characters on the
Ultimate Fighting Championshiproster, Silva is as well known
for his loud presence as his finishing skills. “Lord” was recently
attending a muay thai event in Floripa, Brazil, where he was seen
choking out a fan. 

Silva caught the fan in a rear-naked choke and refused to let go
even after he tapped and went to sleep. However, there were
seemingly no ill feelings exchanged as the fan hugged it out with
Silva after regaining consciousness. 

However, the episode didn’t go down well with all fight fans. A
Twitter user shared screenshots of DMs from another incident
reporting about the incident. According to the messages, the fan
had just asked for a photo with Silva holding him in a rear-naked
choke. 

“The guy asked for a photo with Jean doing a rear-naked choke, but
Jean didn’t want to let go until he erased the guy,” the fan wrote
(translations via Google).

Another fan also expressed his dislike for Silva, questioning the
Brazilian’s persona outside of the Octagon.

“I don’t like Jean. He’s a genius inside the Octagon. But outside
of it he seems like a real jerk,” the fan wrote.

However, Silva seemed unaffected by the comments and replied in his
usual unabashed manner. The surging featherweight advised the fan
to avoid news and media if he can’t handle it.

“Turn off the TV, turn off your radio, throw away your cell phone,
stop looking at any media,” he wrote. “Because I’m going to be
everywhere and you’re going to have to watch me! If you don’t like
it, you know what to do!”

Silva’s rise to stardom has been nothing short of spectacular in
the UFC. Silva made his debut last year and has recorded five
straight finishes, leaving behind the likes of Drew Dober
and Bryce
Mitchell in his wake.
