Bruno Silva

Bruno Silva, nicknamed "Blindado," carries a 23-13-0 professional record with a recent stretch of 2-6 over his last eight UFC outings. The Orthodox-stance middleweight stands 6'0" and operates as a volume striker who absorbs significant damage, averaging 3.86 strikes landed per minute at 48% accuracy while absorbing 5.35 strikes per minute with only 41% striking defense.

Silva shows minimal grappling output, averaging just 0.77 takedowns per 15 minutes at 22% accuracy, though he defends takedowns effectively at 74%. He carries no submission threat in his arsenal.

Recent results paint a difficult picture: losses to Ismail Naurdiev (unanimous decision, October 2024), Shara Magomedov (unanimous decision, October 2023), and Chris Weidman (unanimous decision, March 2024), punctuated by a devastating first-round knockout loss to Marc-Andre Barriault in May 2025. His last victories came via knockout—stopping Wellington Turman in the first round (June 2021) and Andrew Sanchez in the third round (October 2021).

Silva's inconsistency and recent knockout loss suggest he's facing a critical juncture in his middleweight tenure.
