Adin Ross compared Jean Silva to Ilia Topuria right before shock KO in ‘craziest fight’ he’s ever seen

Jean Silva compared to Ilia Topuria seconds before first UFC loss

Silva was fighting a strong second round until he became a little too reckless on the feet.

Adin Ross said he was starting to see shades of pound-for-pound king and current UFC Lightweight Champion Ilia Topuria, who’s arguably the best boxer in the UFC.

“He’s like Topuria, bro,” Ross said of Silva after he landed a thudding body kick on Lopes on his Kick stream.

Two seconds later, Silva was knocked down by a spinning elbow that landed flush.

Ross got out of his chair in shock, celebrating what would be Lopes’ 23rd knockout as a pro.

“That was the craziest fight I’ve ever seen,” Ross said of Lopes vs Silva at Noche UFC 3.

The core four Fighting Nerds have all taken losses in 2025

Silva’s loss tonight marks the end of undefeated UFC records for ‘The Fighting Nerds’ team out of Brazil.

The core four Fighting Nerds consists of Silva, Caio Borralho, Carlos Prates, and Mauricio Ruffy.

Each fighter suffered their first UFC loss this year.

Three of the four are coming off losses this month, with Prates rebounding from a decision loss to Ian Machado Garry in May with a spinning elbow KO of Geoff Neal at UFC 319 in August.

Borralho and Ruffy lost their fights to ranked contenders in the UFC Paris double-header.
