Bruno Silva knew he needed a statement performance in the final fight on his contract at UFC on ESPN 21 . Brazil’s Silva (11-6-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC) delivered with a second-round TKO of J.P. Buys (9-3 MMA, 0-1 UFC) in their flyweight bout, which opened Saturday’s card at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Silva was sharp from the jump, landing on Buys with strikes and controlling the grappling.

Cheyanne (5-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC), who meets Montserrat Ruiz in a strawweight bout on the main card, and JP (9-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC), who takes on Bruno Silva at flyweight in the opening bout of the night, intend to be the first duo with winning outcomes. “This is not our first time fighting on the same night,” Cheyanne told reporters, including MMA Junkie, during Wednesday’s UFC on ESPN 21 media day. “We’ve made history in LFA as the first married couple to both fight and win on the same night
