The former welterweight title contender enters the bout in a four-fight losing streak with losses toJohny HendricksRobbie LawlerTyron Woodley and Ellenberger.

Silva (17-5, 1 no-contest) looks to start his first win streak in the UFC after tapping Mike Rhodes in 75 seconds at UFC Fight Night 58 in December. Prior to that bout, the Brazilian welterweight, who bounced between wins and losses since entering the UFC in 2011, lost a "Fight of the Night" contest to Matt Brown.
