Da Silva lost to Matt Rizzo via submission (arm-triangle choke) at 3:48 of Round 3 at Bellator 180 on Saturday in New York City.
ANALYSIS
Da Silva will be remember for trying to cheat the scale and still missing weight by seven pounds. In the fight, he did not really do very much to change that reputation. Da Silva did some solid work on the ground in the first two rounds, but he still did not do enough to win those rounds. In the third round, he was very tired. Rizzo scored a takedown and moved to a dominant position. From there Rizzo latched on an arm-triangle choke that finished the fight.
