New Headline: Brazilian Champion Bruno Silva Seizes Promising Promotion with Epic UFC Agreement
Bruno Silva has four bonuses on his resume for $200,000. If everything went insanely perfect, he could double that in one night now.
LAS VEGAS – When Bruno Silva heard the UFC's bonuses were doubling in size, something else on him doubled in size. His eyes, pervs. His eyes.
Get your minds out of the gutter. His eyes doubled in size, because he — proverbially speaking, of course – turned into a cartoon version of himself with the thought of bringing home a check for $100,000 instead of $50K. "My eyes were like – you know when they have two hearts in your eyes?
That's what I was feeling," Silva said at the Wednesday news conference for UFC Fight Night 269 (Paramount+). "Now is my time. I needed to get the $50(K) one, and now it's $100K.
It's even more exciting for sure. " It's hard to blame Silva (15-7-2 MMA, 3-4 UFC) for thinking about post-fight bonus awards ahead of his flyweight main card opener against Charles Johnson (18-8 MMA, 7-6 UFC) on Saturday at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas. The 35-year-old Brazilian just a few years back won bonuses in four straight fights.
