“Man, I imply, Jean Silva is one thing else; he’s completely nasty,” Thomas stated. “I used to be watching the battle subsequent to Mick Maynard, the matchmaker, and I’m sitting there saying if this man could make 145, let’s simply put him in there with Ilia Topuria now. Yeah. He seems to be the half. His hanging seems to be the half.”
