Jean Silva`s confident statements leading up to UFC 314 are attracting considerable attention.
This Saturday at UFC 314, Silva will face Bryce Mitchell in a prominent main card fight. Silva, known as `Lord`, requested this fight following Mitchell`s controversial remarks about Adolf Hitler, and he has actively promoted it, even bringing a globe to the UFC 314 press conference, referencing Mitchell`s belief in the flat Earth theory.
Due to the controversy around Mitchell and the tension between them, their fight this Saturday is highly anticipated this month. Earlier this week, Silva even called it `the people`s main event`, claiming he is `carrying this event`.
Despite potentially being seen as the fan favorite, Silva`s outspokenness is already causing negative reactions among some fans, with one fan suggesting Silva must perform well this weekend to avoid `irredeemable shame`.
Fan reactions to Silva`s statements and the upcoming fight with Mitchell are emerging.
