Frankenstein Among Latin America Light Heavyweights

Standing six feet three inches tall and carrying the moniker Frankenstein, Luis Henrique da Silva enters the cage with a veteran’s poise. The thirty-five-year-old from Benavides in Para Brazil competes under the banner of Roxo Strike Team and owns nineteen wins and ten losses in his professional MMA career. With back to back fights at light heavyweight, he has secured a foothold in the division’s regional rankings from his home country to the continental stage.

Da Silva currently sits at number one hundred three in the Central and South America region while also mapping inside the top one hundred fifty seven across Europe. Those placements reflect MMA protocol that mandates at least two fights in the past six bouts per region to qualify. His activity has kept him visible in Brazil and the Brazil North circuits where he has met the criteria to rank: competing in the light heavyweight class at least once in his last two match ups. For a fighter whose journey spans markets from Belem to Lisbon, those figures only tell part of the story inside the octagon.
