Bruno Silva has eased fan concern about his health in the aftermath of UFC 315.
The middleweight fighter, who previously went the distance with Alex Pereira, was carried out on a stretcher after suffering a vicious knockout loss against Marc-André Barriault in Quebec, Canada, on Saturday night.
Bruno Silva was immediately transported to a local hospital after his fifth straight UFC defeat.
As UFC 315 viewers waited for an update on his well-being, slow-motion footage of the blow that put him to sleep went viral as many people who saw it believed it showed his skull literally caving in from the monstrous strike.
What’s next for Bruno Silva?
It’s clear from his social media statement that Silva has no plans to retire after UFC 315.
However, it seems highly likely that he will be cut from the UFC roster in the coming days.
There have been a few fighters who have been allowed to continue in the Octagon after five consecutive defeats, but they were much bigger stars than Silva.
So, if he wants to continue his career, Silva will have to find another promotion to fight for.
