Bruno Silva Health Update
Bruno Silva joined his Instagram account to provide some good news about his health.
“Stop by to let you know I’m fine,” Silva wrote in Portuguese. “I went to the hospital and did the exam. It’s all fine about my health.”
Silva also expressed his gratitude to those who expressed concern and vowed that his story was not over.
“I’ve received a lot of messages from people I really like,” Silva wrote. “I was fine, I wanted to win, so I gave my message and gave everything I went through to get back to my feet, but that’s part of life. I am a winner and this moment will not end my story and legacy. All honors and glory.”
Silva is currently on five skids. He also went 1-7 on his final eight outings. His most recent victory came against Brad Tavares in his “night performance” effort in 2023.
Silva turns 36 this July and will be interesting to see if he can withstand the next few waves of the UFC roster cut. For now, fans are happy to know that Silva’s health remains intact, following his horrifying moments after the Battle of Barrier.
