Before this bout, in 2016, ‘The Spider’ Silva had lost two consecutive fights: against Michael Bisping in February (controversial decision, Silva vs Bisping) and with Daniel Cormier in July (Cormier vs Silva). Adesanya vs Silva is the new main event of UFC 234 (on the original fight card the main event was Robert Whittaker vs Kelvin Gastelum but the Australian pulled out of the event a few hours prior due to an abdominal hernia).
