After back-to-back losses in the Octagon, Bruno Silva returned to the win column last Saturday by knocking out Brad Tavares at UFC Fight Night 222.

“I've never been good on strategy, but this time every step was planned with my trainer, Andre Dida. I didnt want to brawl. My focus was in finding the right distance and getting to Tavares in the cage, and that’s what I did,” Silva said in an interview with the UFC Fight Pass Brazil reporter Evelyn Rodrigues.

Silva is known for asking announcer Bruce Buffer to dance with him in the Octagon after his victories, and he showed his sense of humor by speaking directly to the UFC Fight Pass team in the Sao Paulo Studio — Andre Azevedo, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Carlão Barreto — and asking them to dance to they rhythm he calls “Axe Thai.” Silva’s happiness proved to be contagious, as the studio team stood up and danced in a funny moment. The Axe Thai dance excited the fans and soon became a big source of memes that invaded Brazilian MMA social media.

Meanwhile, Silva declined to call out an opponent for his next UFC appearance.

"For the first time in my life I want to relax a little bit and have fun with my family,” he said.
