“Lord” is back on the mats.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Featherweight contender, Jean Silva, is set to face former UFC Bantamweight title challenger, Marlon Vera, in a submission-only grappling match in the main event of Hype Brazil this week (Weds., April 8, 2026) inside Komplexo Tempo Arena in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
The promotion announced the bout earlier today on social media.
This won’t be Silva’s first trip to Hype Brazil, either.
As for Vera, he’s looking to get back in the win column in any form of competition.
Now, he’ll test himself in a different setting.
The big question: will Vera’s legendary cardio translate to a submission-only format — or will Silva’s aggressive, finish-hunting style shine through?
