LAS VEGAS – Failing to capture the UFC women’s bantamweight title did not shake Mayra Bueno Silva’s confidence.
Silva (10-3-1 MMA, 5-3-1 UFC) will look to rebound when she takes on Macy Chiasson (10-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) on Saturday’s UFC 303 (pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+) main card at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Silva lost a unanimous decision to Raquel Pennington in their vacant title fight at UFC 297. She later revealed that she partially tore her eardrum in Round 1, which impacted the rest of her performance. Silva won Round 1 on all three judges’ scorecards but went on to lose the next four.
