Jean Silva Declares Friendship With Mauricio Ruffy Over After UFC 325 Camp Split

Silva cites internal issues, leaving Ruffy’s future at Fighting Nerds uncertain.

Overview

  • Silva said he unfollowed Ruffy and now wants distance, calling their friendship finished and urging Ruffy to seek help for internal issues.
  • Ruffy trained for UFC 325 in Australia with Alexander Volkanovski, a move widely viewed as the trigger for the rift with his Fighting Nerds teammate.
  • After knocking out Rafael Fiziev in Sydney, Ruffy stated he has always been part of Fighting Nerds and does not plan to leave the team.
  • Coverage notes mixed signals inside the gym, with reports that some team figures skipped Ruffy’s corner while Carlos Prates and Caio Borralho publicly showed support.
