The world of the MMA team ‘Fighting Nerd’, which gathered only the best ‘Hot Guy’ in the UFC, is over.
Jean Silva lost to Diego López in the second round of TKO in the featherweight match of the Noce UFC main event at the Frostbank Center in San Antonio, Texas on the 14th (Korea time).
Silva was not pushed back with an extraordinary batting battle against López, who once had a featherweight title match. Of course, he allowed a vertical elbow in the first round several times, shedding a lot of blood, but hit a great punch several times to López, who only moved forward from the second round.

But one mistake was a drag. Silva pushed López hard, thinking he had a chance to win, but at that moment, he collapsed, allowing a spinning back elbow. Later, he was defeated by TKO in López’s finish.
Silva was the last pride of “Fighting Nerd.” The “fighting nerd,” which has been undefeated and has been closest to the title front, has recently begun to collapse. Carlos Prachis, Mauricio Lupi and Kaio Bohalyu were all the result of defeat.
Prachis was defeated first. He lost to Ian Gary in a close call that lasted until the fifth round. If Gary had caught it, he could have gone to a position where he could ask for the title challenge. He’s popular because of his hot fighting style. One, I lost and turned a little bit. After that, he rebounded by catching Jeff Neal with a spinning back elbow.
Next up was Rupee. He lost the second round submission in his last showdown with Benoit Saint-Denis. The first defeat since entering the UFC. Even before the game, he was considered an overwhelming top dog, but he collapsed by exposing his weakness in grappling.
Bohalyu lost against Nasurdin Imabov in the fifth round of blood clots. It was a very important match because the winner of this match could have been given the right to challenge for the middleweight title.

Bohalyu loved his studies and even taught his colleagues math and chemistry. Sukupira also had a history of working as a copywriter at a marketing agency before he was an MMA coach.

However, Bohalu was not in good condition. In the batting match against Imabov, he was rather beaten. His first defeat, which made “Fighting Nerd,” was a big blow and only Silva was left.
Silva was actually the last hope as he could reach Alexander Volkanovski if he caught López. One, López, couldn’t get over the huge wall, so he went back.
As a result, the ‘fighting nerd’ showed an upward trend of the divinity of each weight class, or the ‘hot guy’, gathering to get near the presidential election, but eventually stopped just before and stagnated for a while.

The trademark of “Fighting Nerd” is black horn-rimmed glasses. Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier are also so popular that they wear these glasses during the Octagon interview.
