The promotion announced the news on Sunday. Silveira will compete in the light heavyweight division, but a debut for his LFA debut is currently unknown.
The 27-year-old notably competed for Titan FC last year, scoring a first round submission of Jahsua Marsh in his professional debut. He followed that up with a head kick KO of Cody Rolling at a regional event on Aug. 13 in Florida.
His father, a longtime coach at ATT, went 6-4 with one no contest over the course of a professional career that began in 1995 and ended in 2007. “Conan” competed against the likes of Kazushi Sakuraba, Patrick Smith, Maurice Smith and Dan Severn.
