Joshua Silveira, competing in the PFL World Tournament Semifinals against Fabian Edwards, is thrilled to finally be in the 185-pound weight class after dropping 37 pounds. He asserts that this change has made him feel more like a professional athlete, showcasing improved physical conditioning. Additionally, the recent birth of his child has profoundly impacted his life, instilling a renewed motivation and sense of responsibility. Silveira expresses his authentic emotions regarding fatherhood and its influence on his mindset as he heads into the upcoming fight in Chicago.
"Now that I'm in this new weight class I just feel a lot better. I feel like an actual professional athlete," Silveira told Cageside Press among other reporters on Wednesday.
"Just to have 37-40 pounds off me completely it's a huge difference. I got rid of this thing in 4-5 months. I'm a completely new person now."
"Having a child changes your life a lot. 100%. I don't know what it is man but the new weight class, I'm a dad now, changes in my life."
"I'm learning to embrace it. I have this human that I got to take care of, and I love her so much man. This is my first time being away from her right now and it's driving me nuts."
