"Silva immediately pressed forward and pushed Park against the cage, forcing an early takedown attempt from Park. Park managed to get Silva down, but was quickly reversed and controlled against the cage. A big rushing uppercut landed for Silva, who defended another takedown attempt successfully. Both men continued exchanging quick combinations on the feet, with Silva defending another takedown before the bell rang."
"Silva got on top but struggled to pass guard before Park rose back to his feet, but only for a brief time, as Silva landed yet another takedown and ended the round in half guard. Silva got to the back, actively looking for a rear-naked choke. Park did well to reverse out of the submission, but made the critical mistake of leaving his neck open while getting up."
Bruno Silva, ranked #14, faced Hyun Sung Park in the lone men's flyweight bout at UFC Vancouver. Park entered having been unbeaten as a pro before losing to Tatsuro Taira and sought a bounce-back. Silva pressed forward early, defended takedowns, landed a big rushing uppercut, and controlled portions against the cage. Park fought back in Round 2, briefly dropping to Silva and then pressing forward before Silva secured takedowns and ended the round in half guard. In Round 3 Silva turned a caught kick into a takedown, took the back, and forced a rear-naked choke at 2:15, earning the submission victory.
