Luis Henrique da Silva is Ready to Fight Again Tomorrow If He’s Needed

Luis Henrique da Silva spoke after his win over Joachim Christensen at UFC Fight Night 96 (via MMAjunkie). You can see a couple of highlights below:

On his win: “I feel very, very, very happy with the opportunity the UFC gave me to fight once again this year. And to me, it’s a dream come true to win via submission, which had never happened. It’s pure joy.”

On Christensen: “He has a very good straight punch (and) a very accurate right hand, and he caught me with that strike. Thankfully, I was prepared for the ground as well. I’d seen a few of his fights, and I believe that he made it to the UFC with his merits. He’s a great fighter, one of the toughest I’ve ever fought, and I didn’t expect anything less than that.”

On the possibility of a quick turnaround fight: “No doubt. Even tomorrow. If they put me next week, I’m in. I expect to fight whomever the UFC matches up against me. I never picked opponents, and I’m not about to start now. When the people and the UFC believe I have the conditions to fight a ranked opponent, I’m at their disposal.”

On what to expect from him going forward: “It’s MMA; we have to be ready for everything.”
