Raquel Pennington amused by Mayra Bueno Silva ahead of UFC 297: ‘I love the world she’s living in her own mind’

TORONTO – Raquel Pennington is not taking Mayra Bueno Silva’s chatter too seriously ahead of their championship fight.

The two women’s bantamweight contenders meet in the co-main event of UFC 297 this Saturday as they’re set to battle for the vacant title at 135 pounds. Ahead of the pay-per-view event, Bueno Silva (10-2-1 MMA, 5-2-1 UFC) has been saying that she should’ve been fighting Julianna Peña and not Pennington (15-8 MMA, 12-5 UFC) and that fans don’t care about the “Rocky” matchup, among other things.

Although shots have been fired her way, Pennington is in no way going to get invested in her opponent’s comments.
