Jean Silva quickly became a favorite under the UFC fan base, but after bizarre images have appeared online earlier this week, he was heavily criticized.
Last April at UFC 314 Jean Silva took the biggest victory of his career so far when he submitted gray expert Bryce Mitchell, with his well -rounded skills.
'Lord' Silva has been named a future Feeder Wain champion by UFC icon, Joe Rogan, who was present for the impressive victory of the Brazilian over 'Thugnasty'.
Since then, Silva has argued for a featherweight title shot, one of the few top 145 pounds that champion, Alexander Volkanovski has not yet fought.

Jean Silva is a shocking fan to sleep in bizarre images
Silva is not only an exciting hunter in the cage, but is also a favorite among the fans because of his antics outside the cage.
Earlier this week, however, the 28-year-old could have attacked his reputation after he suffocated a fan, despite the multiple attempts by the fan to stop him by tapping.
After receiving a lot of criticism from the fans, Silva removed the video from his social media.
“This is weird, let go of the tap,” a fan commented on the images.
“Wow, what a criminal he clearly tapped and he didn't let go,” said another fan.
“This behavior is extremely weird. Must be cut from the schedule,” a third fan responded.
“What the F – is wrong with Jean Silva,” another fan responded.
It is unknown whether the fan who was suffocated unconscious, to get Silva early to put him asleep, but after pulling several times, it can release the choke for the Brazilian.
Jean Silva responds to criticism from fans
In the typical Silva mode he responded to the criticism he received, where fans even called on the UFC to cut him for his antics.
“I don't like Jean. He is a genius in the Octagon. But he looks like a real jerk,” another fan said.
“Switch off the TV, turn off your radio, throw your cell phone away, stop looking at media. Because I will be everywhere and you have to look at me! If you don't like it, you know what to do!” Silva responded to the criticism.

Unfortunately, Silva's comments were not what fans hoped for, because he does not seem to be an apology for his bizarre antics.
