UFC 303 video: Jean Silva becomes first to knock out Charles Jourdain

Jean Silva missed weight at UFC 303, but made up for it in a big way with his performance against Charles Jourdain.

Silva (13-2 MMA, 2-0 UFC) was the hunter from the opening bell of the catchweight fight Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, hurting Jourdain (15-8-1 MMA, 6-7-1 UFC) multiple times before a final knockdown led to the referee stepping in at 1:22 mark of Round 2.

“I think I’m the most dangerous,” Silva said in his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan. “I think I’m the most aggressive (featherweight).”
