Thiago Silva Feels A Win Over Rashad Evans Would Vault Him To The Front Of The Line

American Top Team fighter Thiago Silva (14-1) wants a shot at the UFC light-heavyweight title and feels that a win over former champ Rashad Evans will vault him to the top of the list.

In a recent interview with Portal das Lutas, Graciemag.com had the English translation, Silva talks about the strategy he will take to defeat Evans as well as what a victory might mean in the UFC light-heavyweight division.

“He’s a good fighter and has his merit, but I have mine too and everyone knows what I’m about: I go in there to kill or die,” declared Silva.

“I intend not to get taken down. That’s why I’m training to annul his game. The human materials at ATT are stacked, it’s even hard to name names. I can just say that training is heavy and productive.”

“A win would put me at the front of the line, for sure. But that (a title shot) is decided by the event, I’m just an employee hoping to one day have the opportunity,” he said.
