On that coming Saturday, Bulldog, widely identified as Bruno Silva, will be coming into confrontation with Cody Durden in UFC Vegas 94. This fight is a crucial moment indicative not merely of Silva’s fighting evolution, but his training evolution as well. Silva’s training partner from Fight Ready is Henry Cejudo whom he trained with for almost a decade before switching early 2024 to ATT in Florida.
Why the Big Move?
Silva talked to mma fighting detailing his several reasons on why he decided to join ATT. “It’s really professional,” comments Silva, “There’s a lot of great people here.” He specifically mentioned the presence of three world champions at ATT: From the ten fighters, the key ones are Alexandre Pantoja, Adriano Moraes, and Kyoji Horiguchi. Reasons that compelled Silva to join ATT as stated are the quality of fighters and the training partners that are readily available he considers as fundamental in his training.
And although Silva have changed the gym, he also changed is life in several aspects as well. “I really like Arizona the state but the maths told me to move here and I concur,” Silva said. Such a decision to move to Florida was beneficial because it placed him in proximity to Brazil, where he spends time with his family.
Two more benefits in his opinion are the warmer climate and beach life. In the financial aspect, Silva also benefitted from the transition; it was convenient in many ways. Florida has no state tax and the fees for gym more affordable than what he was paying at Fight Readiness.
Looking Ahead:
Silva joining ATT may not be at a bad time in his career given the circumstances. He has a winning streak of three fights in the UFC, all which he won ‘inside distance’ and all of them earned him $50,000 ‘Fight of the Night’ bonuses. However, the fighter has not been ACTIVE for more than a year, getting numerousранения, including canceled fights. Originally, he was set to fight Cody Durden in September 2023, in what was a rescheduled fighting and Silva is ready to return to the Octagon.
Frankly, the champion promised to score another ko and receive another bonus: “I will go for the knockout and the bonus again.” Honestly I don’t know in which round and how, but believe me, it is going to happen… Silva seems eager to be trained and was ready to entertain the crowd. “Very productive for me,” he said, “It was one of my best camps ever.” “They said I’m earning money now and fighting, no one can be happier than me right Now I am living my dream here I have no complains man.”
