The first round kicked off with a furry. Puelles and Silva spent much of the first half of the round exchanging from the feet.
However, the fight then made its way to the canvas. Both fighters attempted submission after submission, but neither fighter was able to lock in a finish.
Puelles began walking down his opponent in the opening moments of the second round, but Silva quickly began pummeling his opponent with a series of strikes.
In the final round, Puelles bounced back from a tough second round of brutal exchanges with a kneebar submission finish for the win.
