The tension is palpable as Jean Silva gears up for his grudge match against Bryce Mitchell, and the stakes just got even higher after an intense weigh-in showdown at UFC 314!

Initially scaling in at 147 pounds—one pound over the limit for a non-title bout—Silva didn’t hold back on the scale. Stripping down and stepping into the official box, he was visibly fired up, despite this initial misstep.

After some tense moments and a botched weigh-in, Silva, with the Florida commission’s approval, got a second chance. "It’s not over yet! Don’t you want a journey of suffering? I’ll make this f*cking weight! Bryce Mitchell, I’m coming for you!" he proclaimed passionately in Portuguese.

With determination etched on his face, Silva returned just 40 minutes later to hit the target—146 pounds, officially making weight. "Brazil, didn’t you want a story of suffering? Just watch my channel!" he confidently exclaimed after his successful attempt.

In other weigh-in news, Nora Cornolle also faced a setback, coming in at 138 pounds—two pounds over—against Hailey Cowan. Though she managed to drop to 137.5 pounds on her second try, it still wasn’t enough. The fight will go ahead at catchweight, with Cornolle forfeiting 20% of her purse as a penalty.

Weigh-in dramas are nothing new for these fighters. Silva previously struggled with weight for a bout against Charles Jourdain, and Cornolle faced similar issues earlier this year.

As for the main event, featherweight titans Alexander Volkanovski and Diego Lopes both nailed their weigh-ins at 145 pounds, while co-main event stars Michael Chandler and Paddy Pimblett tipped the scales at a smooth 156 pounds.
