Main Card

Claudio Silva

Claudio Henrique da Silva is a 38-year-old veteran fighter that came from Rondonopolis, Mato Grosso in Brazil. He is known as “Hannibal” inside the cage and this five-foot-eleven fighter stables at London Shootfighters. Silva now has an impressive 14-1 professional record with nine submissions, three decisions and two knockouts. He has been fighting in the UFC since March 2014 and went undefeated in all the five fights given to him. His last match was more than a year already on UFC on ESPN 5 in August 2019 against Cole Williams. Silva made his presence felt early on as he executed a rear-naked choke on his opponent in the first round.

James Krause

James Krause sarcastically has a very interesting ring name of “The James Krause” and this lightweight fighter came all the way from Lee’s Summit in Missouri, USA. He stands at six-foot-two and gets his skills refined at Glory MMA & Fitness. Krause now has a veteran professional record of 27-8 with 14 wins earned from a way of submission. He has been in the UFC since June 2013 and won eight of his 12 fights from the organization. He was carrying a six-fight winning streak until facing Trevin Giles in UFC 247 just this February 2020. In that match, Giles took Krause to the edge and went full three rounds only to lose by a split decision.
