A devastating defeat in his latest outing, the loss of his belt, and the uncertainty over his future have made Cleiton Silva a resolute man. As he readies for his much-anticipated return, ”The Predator” is looking forward to redeeming himself in the BRAVE CF Arena. A former BRAVE CF champion, Cleiton is set to face Kamil Magomedov at BRAVE CF 57, which takes place on March 11th, at the Khalifa Sports City Arena, in the Kingdom of Bahrain.

The same Bahrain that witnessed his downfall at BRAVE CF 44, when he was brutally knocked out by Amin Ayoub, lost the belt, and interrupted a three-fight winning streak that earned him a title shot and a world championship.

After 15 months off, licking his wounds, and correcting his mistakes, Cleiton will have a huge opportunity to immediately insert himself in the title conversation once again. He faces jiu-jitsu standout Kamil Magomedov, with the winner moving forward in the title race.

A striker by nature, but with an underrated submission game, Silva is hoping to fend off the takedowns from his Dagestani counterpart and knock him out on the feet to kick off his return in style. 

The ultimate goal for ”The Predator” is to earn another title shot – and a new encounter with Ahmed Amir. Cleiton holds a win over the reigning titleholder and feels a victory over Kamil gets him closer to the goal of fighting for the belt once again.
