In what was an absolutely wild three-round war that kicked off the prelims on FS1, Erick Silva survived being rocked several times against Luan Chagas and won via submission.
With both Brazilians’ gas tank depleted, a right hook rocked “Tarzan” and when Chagas shot in for a takedown, Silva avoided it made him pay. “Tiger” quickly pounced on his foe’s back and slipped on a perfect rear-naked choke, forcing the tap at 3:57 of the final round.
