Silva (17-5, 1NC) has had a roller coaster of a UFC career, flopping between wins and losses. Most recently he earned a submission victory over Mike Rhodes at UFC Fight Night 58 in December.
UFC Fight Night 62 takes place at Maracanainho gymnasim and features Demian Maia vs. Ryan LaFlare in the main event.
