He can add another loss to his 7-9 record.

Queens MMA fighter Sergio “The Savage” DaSilva on Thursday was found guilty of robbing a local bank of $45,000.

Jurors found the featherweight guilty of robbery in the third degree after watching security footage of the fighter scaling a glass partition in an Astoria Citibank and demanding the tellers fork over the cash on Aug. 24, 2017.

He was found not guilty of robbery in the first degree, a charge that hinged on the robber having a weapon.

Tellers said the robber threatened to shoot them and indicated that he had a gun in his coat pocket, but the video didn’t show whether he was telling the truth.

DaSilva would have faced up to 25 years behind bars on that charge, but now faces up to seven years in prison on third-degree robbery.

Prosecutors requested the 32-year old cage fighting pro be remanded until his sentencing, but the judge allowed him to remain out because it’s his first offense and he doesn’t think DaSilva is a flight risk.

“I hope to appeal,” DaSilva told reporters outside the courtroom.

“I’m living to fight another day.”

His sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 28.
