Danny Silva wants to avenge his loss against Kevin Vallejos.

Danny Silva wants to avenge his loss against Kevin Vallejos . Silva (11-2)) knocked out Kurtis Campbell in the second round of their featherweight matchup at UFC London . The win saw Silva rebound from a closely-contested unanimous decision loss against Vallejos (18-1), who has since become a highly-touted prospect.

Silva believes Vallejos’s stardom was partly built on his lone career loss against Jean Silva , who is now on the cusp of bursting into the UFC featherweight title picture. While Silva doesn’t want to build himself based on his loss against Vallejos, he will continue chasing the Argentinian. Silva believes his loss to Vallejos was controversial, with many of his supporters thinking he had done enough to secure the victory.

Willing to Fight Anybody “I do want to bounce back,” Silva said in a post-fight interview with the UFC. “I lost to Vallejos; he kind of built his name off of Jean Silva . I don’t want to build my name off of [Vallejos].

But I’ve been his toughest match. He fought Jean on the Contender Series, so when I fought Vallejos, I fought a better version of him. We just saw what he did to a lot of good fighters.
