UFC 314: Jean Silva's Win Triggers a Bet With Permanent Consequences
In combat sports, side bets and wild challenges are almost as common as post-fight callouts. Whether it's a chunk of cash, a shaved head, or social media embarrassment, there's usually some sort of wager floating around. But at UFC 314, a promise made in a pre-fight interview turned into a full-blown tattoo session. What started as a bold prediction quickly became a story fans won't forget anytime soon.
According to Full Send MMA and shared online by Kevin, Shawny Mack—known by fans as 'OGShawnyMack'—followed through on a hilarious pre-fight bet. In an interview before the event, Mack told rising UFC star Jean Silva that if Silva knocked out Bryce Mitchell, he'd get Silva's face tattooed on his body. Silva didn't just agree—he demanded Mack get it done by Sunday. While Silva didn't get the KO, he did dominate Mitchell with a second-round ninja choke, earning a Performance of the Night bonus. The result? Mack now sports Jean Silva's face on his right leg.
And it didn't stop there. In a twist of mutual commitment, Silva also got a tattoo of the Full Send logo on his left leg, solidifying the moment with ink from both sides. For those unfamiliar, Full Send MMA is the combat sports wing of the Full Send brand—a media empire built by the Nelk Boys that blends wild antics with serious sports content. The group is known for high-energy content, viral interviews, and a growing presence across UFC events.

A decade ago, Cong beat current UFC women's flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko in a kickboxing match, and now has her sights set on her in MMA. 'I feel like this fight showed where I am, and I'm ready to go back and train crazy,' Cong said through her translator after the win. Check out Cong's post-fight news conference in the video above.
