In an Instagram story on Sunday, Silva showcased a plethora of injuries on his face and head, including the bumpy aftermath of Lopes’ round one elbows.<\/p>\n
“Well, unfortunately emotions ran high yesterday,” Silva admitted. “I was doing well in the second round but I went all out, going up with everything. The desire to get into a fight.<\/p>\n
“I ended up playing [fighting] alone. I wasn’t connected with my team. So the responsibility is all mine in this defeat. . . . You’re right about one thing, we’ve [Fighting Nerds] lost three fights in a row, so we must be making similar mistakes.<\/p>\n
“We’ll definitely have a meeting… to identify and fix these issues. Like it or not, I’m sorry and we’ll be back.”<\/p>\n
No. Mauricio Ruffy’s loss might have been the most devastating for the team, but Caio Borralho and Jean Silva lost potential title eliminators in their respective divisions. <\/p>\n
The same goes for Carlos Prates against Ian Garry, but Prates has already rebounded with a win and fights Leon Edwards later this year. All these members need is one good win against game opposition, and they’ll be primed for a title run yet again.<\/p>\n
