Joshua Silveira, a 33-year-old fighter from the Professional Fighters League (PFL), is set to face undefeated Jordan Newman in the co-main event of PFL Chicago on April 11 at Wintrust Arena. With a record of 6-5, Silveira reflects on his journey through mixed martial arts (MMA), stating, "I’ve been through the fire, and I guess there’s still more fire left until the day that you die." He acknowledges the significance of experience, particularly in dealing with defeat, which he believes is crucial for growth in the sport. Silveira, who trains at American Top Team in Coconut Creek, Florida, has found motivation in his family, stating that fighting for a purpose has brought clarity to his career. He notes that Newman's undefeated record poses a challenge, but he is confident in his experience.

He remains focused on climbing the ranks and ultimately achieving a title shot.
