Bellator 97′s Rafael Silva has seen both the positives and negatives of the fact. Silva (19-3 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) makes his Bellator debut tonight in a bantamweight-semifinal tournament fight against Rodrigo Lima (11-1 MMA, 1-1 BMMA), which streams on Spike.com ahead of the Spike TV-televised main card at Santa Ana Center in Rio Rancho, N.M. It marks the U.S. debut of Silva, who carries an 11-fight win streak that the Brazilian built in his home country. And though the veteran 135-pounder makes a living fighting and teaching MMA, “Morcego” hopes this fight can secure some financial help from sponsors. That, he said, has been harder to do lately. Earlier this month, ex-teammates Maiquel Falcao and Kaue Mena appeared to spark a brawl at a gas station in Brazil

Marcelo Brigadeiro, who heads the Renovacao Fight Team in Balneario Camboriu, Santa Catarina, Brazil, today issued a statement that said the fighters’ behavior was not compatible with his team’s philosophy. Falcao appears to have initiated a brawl at a gas station near the team’s home by shoving a female, which prompted several men to brawl with he and Mena both inside and outside the establishment. Both were hit with a wooden board, and Mena was badly beaten while unconscious, according to a Brazilian news report that contained surveillance footage of the incident. Both were taken to Hospital do Coracao in Balneario Camboriu, as previously reported. Falcao was released, but according to Brigadeiro, featherweight Mena remains in a coma
