Just a day before her fight against Eman Almudhaf On September 14, Silva was admitted to the intensive care unit at Northwick Park Hospital in London and failed to reach the 145-pound mark. What happened at that crucial moment?

Mike Mazzullian official from the Mohegan Tribe’s Department of Sports Regulation and president of the Association of Boxing Commissions, was called to send a doctor to examine Silva just ten minutes before the weigh-in ended. Amazingly, she never spoke up and a pre-fight physical exam did not take place. Now, aged just 29, Silva is recovering from kidney failure and has been placed in an induced coma.

Given this situation Donn DavisPFL founder and chairman finally broke his silence on Silva’s ordeal. Speaking to Mike Heck, Davis explained: “She experienced a very difficult weight loss journey that resulted in a medical emergency that was treated seriously and appropriately. And she was in the hospital for an extended period of time and we had everything possible to support her recovery. And it is not our place to say otherwise. That is their business and their privacy, that everything I just said is news and that is the news that is common knowledge. And that’s the news we don’t want to say any more about.”

Although there was criticism of the organization for not releasing a statement after the fact, Davis stated: “And in this case, I think the right thing to do is to respect their privacy, a very sensitive point, rather than giving constant updates to everyone who wants to know. It may not seem so easy.”

In an update from their manager Alex Davis, the team reported that Silva is still sedated but is showing signs of improvement. As fans and the MMA scene hope for a full recovery, we turn our focus to the world of UFC and the upcoming highly anticipated featherweight title fight at UFC 308.

Ilia Topuria and Max Holloway will compete at UFC 308 when the Octagon heads to the Etihad Arena on October 26th. But now there’s an added layer to their rivalry! What is that?

Recently, Holloway was gifted an FC Barcelona jersey before his game against Topuria. For those who don’t know, “El Matador” is a staunch Real Madrid supporter and was even invited to honor the kick-off ceremony when his favorite team took on Sevilla earlier this year. The ceremony took place after Topuria snatched the crown from Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 298.

Another interesting aspect of this soccer-MMA crossover is that Barcelona and Real Madrid will face each other in “El Clasico,” a legendary La Liga showdown that will take place simultaneously at UFC 308. “We’ll use this to fire another swipe at Topuria,” Holloway shared in his ESPN interview, “Barcelona jersey, so I expect Barcelona to win 2-0 on Saturday night.”

With the challenge made, it remains to be seen what the results would be, both in terms of Holloway’s aspirations to regain his title and Barcelona’s attempt to beat their legendary rivals on the same evening. Surprisingly, this wasn’t the only MMA-Football crossover as Cristiano Ronaldo also stopped by to watch Francis Ngannou return to the cage at PFL Superfights: Battle of the Giants last weekend!
