Silva (33-8, 1 NC) was last seen in the Octagon at UFC 200, coming in on just two days notice to face light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier in a non-title fight.
Brunson (16-4) is currently one of the top fighters in the middleweight division.
UFC 208 at Barclays Center is headlined by the inaugural women’s featherweight title fight between former bantamweight champ Holly Holm and Germaine de Randamie.
