Erik Silva

Erik Silva, better known as "The King", brings a 9-4 record into every walk to the cage — and in a division as crowded as featherweight, every single win matters.

Wrestling is the skeleton key here — 3.3 takedowns a round on average. Everything opponents want to do standing gets interrupted, smothered, and dragged to the canvas.

The last fight went to Francis Marshall (Submission (Rear Naked Choke) R1) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.

He's 39 now. Fighters at this stage aren't building toward something; they're spending what's left, and that usually makes for the best fights.
