The Jiu-Jitsu coach at Wanderlei Silva’s Las Vegas academy, Sidney Silva has another No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu battle coming up this Friday, November 4. A Rickson Gracie black belt with eight MMA wins on his record, Sidney will take on the undefeated Cameron Diffley at Super Cage Combat 3 (SCC 3).

“He’s a tough guy; he was the coach on one of the seasons of TUF and used to coach Forrest Griffin in Jiu-Jitsu, but I’m ready for whatever is to come,” said the Brazilian.

The event will go down at the Orleans Casino arena in Las Vegas, and the card is packed with stalwart aces. For instance, former UFC and WEC fighter John Alessio will be there, not to mention former Pride FC fighter Luiz “Buscapé” Junior and Brazil’s Jay Silva. State tuned to GRACIEMAG for more on SCC 3.
