Dana White is considering Jean Silva`s surprising offer to be his best man at his wedding, but he needs more details first.
UFC 314 fighter Jean Silva achieved a remarkable submission victory over Bryce Mitchell, a known featherweight competitor, securing his ranking on Saturday night. He choked Mitchell unconscious in the octagon after their fight and celebrated his win, also earning a $50,000 bonus.
Now, Silva is turning his attention to planning his dream wedding with his wife, Carolina de Castro. A key part of this dream is to have the famous Brazilian singer Belo perform at their wedding, but they might need Dana White`s help to make it happen.
Jean Silva Asks Dana White to Be Best Man in Exchange for Wedding Singer
More than anything in fighting, Jean Silva wants to have a formal church wedding with Carolina. Having Belo sing at the ceremony would make it truly special, but Belo`s fee is about the same as four of Silva`s fight earnings.
So, Silva proposed that Dana White could pay for Belo to perform, if White would agree to be his best man. Silva explained, “We should be married already, but we really want Belo to sing at the wedding.”
Silva joked about the cost, “Please lower your price! I`ll need to fight four more times to afford it. We are so close to making this dream a reality, and we`ve come a long way. After my win, we got even closer, and some people have talked to us today that make it seem really possible. Do you think if I ask Dana to be my best man, he`ll pay for Belo?”
Dana White Might Accept Jean Silva’s Best Man Proposal
When Dana White was told about Silva`s offer, he seemed confused initially because he didn`t have all the details. However, he seemed interested in the idea and reacted positively overall.
“Wait,” White said, surprised. “He wants to get married in a church, and he wants me to be the best man if I pay for it?” He laughed when he learned it was just about paying for the singer, who is known to be expensive.
Belo is a huge star in Brazil, with nearly 5 million followers on Instagram alone. “I need more information about this,” White said, before adding that he is “probably in” on the deal.
