Prior to signing with the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Thiago fought almost solely in his native country of Brazil. During his first 9 professional bouts, Thiago attained a perfect 9–0 record, winning 7 of these bouts by KO or TKO.
As a member of the vaunted Chute Boxe Academy, which produced MMA champions such as former PRIDE middleweight champion Wanderlei Silva and current UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva, Thiago gained the UFC's attention as a top light heavyweight prospect.
“Tonight was my night,” said Silva, now 14-1. “I’m back.”
Jardine (14-7-1) opened the bout with a flurry that missed, but his follow up kick to the leg landed to a thud. The next kick Jardine threw was caught by Silva though, and the Brazilian took the fight to the mat. Jardine quickly got to his feet and went back to work as Silva looked to counter, and counter he did, drilling “The Dean of Mean” with a left hook that dropped him to the mat. The follow-up barrage from Silva finished Jardine off, bringing in referee Herb Dean to halt the bout at 1:35 of the opening round.
“This fight was very important to me because I love fighting here,” said Silva. “UFC is my life.”
