Things are heating up between Jean Silva
and Melquizael
Costa.
Silva and Costa both recently attended LFA 234 at Ginásio do
Polvilho in Cajamar, São Paulo, Brazil. Videos have since surfaced
of Silva confronting Costa at the event. Costa can still be seen
smiling, while an animated Silva points his finger at him and says
something in Portuguese.

A Recent Callout
Costa (26-8) had initially called out Silva (17-3) after a
highlight reel spinning-back-kick knockout win over Dan Ige this
past September. However, Costa has since suffered a hard-fought
unanimous decision loss against Arnold
Allen earlier this month. It marked the end of an impressive
six-fight winning streak for “The Dalmatian.”
Costa is unlikely to get an immediate booking against Silva, who is
coming off a decision win over Allen. Silva’s win over Allen saw
him rebound from his only
UFC loss against Diego
Lopes.
Oh a treta! 👀🔥
