Featherweight prospect Jean Silva is scheduled to face Bryce Mitchell at UFC 314 this weekend. Ahead of that, the Brazilian recently caught the attention of fans when an individual seemingly requested to take a punch from him.

Consequently, the fan may have been intrigued to try out how the Brazilian fighter's punch would feel.

Jean Silva asserts confidence in beating Bryce Mitchell at UFC 314
Bryce Mitchell is ranked No. 13 fighter in the UFC featherweight division. He most recently secured a knockout victory over Kron Gracie at UFC 310. Likewise, Jean Silva also comes off a dominating win against Melsik Baghdasaryan at UFC Fight Night 252.
As he aims to break into the 145-pound rankings, 'Lord' promises to deliver a brutal beating on 'Thug Nasty' at UFC 314. While speaking in an interview with MMA Fighting, Silva said:
"We're building another kind of ‘war’ where the opponent can quit, tap out, or say he doesn’t wanna fight anymore, and then the battle is over. That will happen. He will quit. I won’t continue hitting him because that’s not who I am. He’ll get beat like everybody else got beat, and just others after him will get beat."
