The inagural Jungle Fights welterweight champ took his second trip to the octagon after last time blasting Luis Ramos and putting him away in 40 seconds in a promotional turf war.
With more eyeballs on him this time on a pay-per-view broadcast he looked to do the exact same thing landing an early knee that stunned Prater, Silva was quick to capitalize on his weakness pounding him with hammer fists until senior referee Mario Yamasaki was forced to step in.
Yamasaki was quick to disqualify the Brazilian prospect for landing what he perceived to be a number of his hammer fists to the back of the head of Prater but after the benefit of instant replay it was revealed that most of his strikes landed to the side of the head.
Here’s what they had to say post-fight;
CARLO PRATER:
“I’m not a judge. I didn’t stop the fight. All I know is that he hit me and it sent a shock of pain through my body unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I don’t know if the shots were legal. I just know it was unlike anything I’ve ever felt.”
ERICK SILVA:
“Everyone here knows that wasn’t intentional. I don’t know what else to say.”
