Again not competitive in loss
Wilson lost to Jean Silva via TKO (punches) at 4:12 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Wilson lasted just 2:54 in his UFC debut against Joanderson Brito last July, so he's moving in the right direction. In all seriousness, Westin never had a chance of winning this fight as a +625 underdog, by far the largest on the entire card. He's displayed zero ability to defend himself on the feet, and thus has been unable to land any notable offense of his own. Most UFC fighters that drop their first two bouts with the company get a third chance given how many events the promotion holds, but Wilson, who will be 35 years of age in late-January, appears likely to be an exception to that rule.

Receives new opponent
Wilson will now fight Jean Silva at UFC Vegas 84 on Jan. 13, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Gabriel Santos had to pull out of the fight for unknown reasons, meaning Wilson will now be matched up with an opponent who will be making his UFC debut. Wilson is coming off a loss in his own debut at the hands of Joanderson Brito, and he will have a four-inch reach advantage over Silva.

Second UFC fight scheduled
Wilson will compete against Gabriel Santos in a featherweight fight at UFC Vegas 83 on Jan. 13, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Wilson will have a second opportunity at a UFC fight. He lost his UFC debut back in July 2023, a first-round knockout at the hands of Joanderson Brito. Ideally for Wilson, he can finally log a UFC win in January and further his stay in the promotion's roster.

No-shows UFC debut
Wilson lost to Joanderson Brito via KO (punches) at 2:54 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It was the expected result with Wilson entering as a +800 underdog, by far the largest on the entire card. He attempted a kneebar midway through the opening frame but it didn't connect and Brito responded by hopping up and unleashing countless unanswered strikes which forced referee Chris Tognoni to pull the plug. Wilson is going to get another shot with the UFC, but already 34 years of age and having had mixed results on the regional circuit, little should be expected.

Gets UFC shot in July
Wilson has been added to the UFC and is in line to take on Joanderson Brito at UFC Vegas 76 on July 1, MMA Orbit reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite a three-fight winning streak across various regional circuits where Wilson has mixed in boxing as well, it's a bit of a curious addition to the roster, as Wilson is 34 years old and owns a 16-7-0 record. He'll get a relatively short-notice call against Brito, who lost his originally-scheduled opponent, Kusein Askhabov, just one week earlier. Westin will sport slight height and reach advantages against the younger Brito, who is 2-1 since joining the UFC roster.
