Silva left the UFC with a record of 7-8 under the promotion. “The Tiger’s” record went from 12-1, 1 NC outside of the UFC, to 19-9, 1 NC following his run with the world leader in MMA.

In his last bout back in Dec. 2017, Silva fell short via unanimous decision to Jordan Mein. He is in search of his first win since Sept. 2016. He’s gone 1-4 in his last five outings. Barnes has a professional record of 12-3. He was knocked out in his last bout against Curtis Millender.

As always, you can expect LFA 45 to air live on AXS TV. In addition to Silva vs. Barnes, Moses Murrietta will do battle with Casey Ryan and Blake Troop clashes with James Cannon. Taylor Johnson and Luc Bondole are also set to collide.
