"Jean Silva on emotional moment that went viral after facing UFC belt: Its not normal to see the belt. If you look at my history my life everything Ive faced its not normal. We are working hard: me my wife my team to see the belt there. I felt the history of my life I think Im close to this dream and I think the UFC wanted that too. To be honest Im just being myself. Some people dont understand others do but at the end of the day I think I have a connection with all the fans. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2016624892335267952 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2016624892335267952"

"Jean Silva explains his decision to 'surf' on Arnold Allen at UFC 324: "For people to understand my state of mind at this time I was in the flow. We trained it because if you see the the Arnold Allen fight against Evloev it's very hard to keep him down. My strategy is not to keep him down and he knew what my strategy was for the fight so he always put [--] hands on the canvas and keep going up. I always train in different positions like surfing positions. If you see my old videos you're going to see I do this with my colleagues and training." https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2016627309542068333"

"Jean Silva believes Mauricio Ruffy could play a major role in Volkanovski beating Lopes at UFC 325: "For me it's going to be better that I can have a rematch with Diego Lopes but it's gonna be tough. Volk is a legend it's very tough to fight against him. He's got Ruffy now and he's helping him with how to read people so he's probably helping Volk to win. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2016629645731594735 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2016629645731594735"

"Rose Namajunas is currently undergoing eye surgery to repair a canalicular laceration. She was poked multiple times in the eye at UFC [---] according to Pat Barry. One of those eye pokes cut the inside of her eyelid all the way into the tear duct. Shell have to keep a tube in her eye for three months and she wont be able to sneeze or blow her nose. This sounds like an absolute nightmare. We move on to UFC [---] and we forget about these people. This is their reality and once again nothing will be done to address the constant eye-poke issue. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2016216734685188507"

"Eddie Hearn explains why he's impressed with the UFC's pay model: As a business its incredible that they can get their talent to fight for those numbers given the revenue the show generates. Youre telling me youre generating $50 million in revenue and the main event fighters are getting $750k to $1 million Or whatever the actual figure is. What a business. Wow. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2016236461331513376 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2016236461331513376"

""I was enjoying every moment when Gaethje clipped Paddy. He's a bitch. He doesn't deserve to be there. Why they put the trash can in there. I would beat both of them on the same night. Paddy Pimblett has zero MMA skills. He just has chin." @ArmanUfc gives his thoughts on the UFC [---] main event. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2016255518613111236 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2016255518613111236"

"Michael Chiesa discusses potential retirement ahead of UFC Seattle homecoming: "I don't know if this is the last one but if it is it's the perfect way to go out at home. Fighters either retire too early or we retire too late. When have we ever heard of a perfect retirement I would rather retire early. and I don't think retiring at [--] is an early retirement even if I'm doing well. you know so I don't know." https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2016605404688687565 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2016605404688687565"

"If Ive said it once Ive said it a million times: everyone knows who I want to fight and the fcking guy is avoiding me like the plague. I would love that fight after this one. It was all laid out. We had it all laid out on The Ultimate Fighter. Hunter Campbell was on board. Everybody was on board. Everybody loved it. Who didnt sign the contract It wasnt me. Dudes a fcking coward. I dont care what anybody says. The dude is chicken shit. Michael Chiesa is still itching for the Colby Covington fight"

"Jean Silva on emotional moment that went viral after facing UFC belt: Its not normal to see the belt. If you look at my history my life everything Ive faced its not normal. We are working hard: me my wife my team to see the belt there. I felt the history of my life I think Im close to this dream and I think the UFC wanted that too. To be honest Im just being myself. Some people dont understand others do but at the end of the day I think I have a connection with all the fans. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2016624892335267952 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2016624892335267952"

"Jean Silva explains his decision to 'surf' on Arnold Allen at UFC 324: "For people to understand my state of mind at this time I was in the flow. We trained it because if you see the the Arnold Allen fight against Evloev it's very hard to keep him down. My strategy is not to keep him down and he knew what my strategy was for the fight so he always put [--] hands on the canvas and keep going up. I always train in different positions like surfing positions. If you see my old videos you're going to see I do this with my colleagues and training." https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2016627309542068333"

"Jean Silva believes Mauricio Ruffy could play a major role in Volkanovski beating Lopes at UFC 325: "For me it's going to be better that I can have a rematch with Diego Lopes but it's gonna be tough. Volk is a legend it's very tough to fight against him. He's got Ruffy now and he's helping him with how to read people so he's probably helping Volk to win. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2016629645731594735 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2016629645731594735"
