Mayra Bueno Silva guarantees fireworks against Mara Romero Borella

BAD MMA News — Wed, 09 Sep 2020 22:40:13 +0000

Mayra Bueno Silva is looking to show off her aggressive style against Mara Romero Borella . The Brazilian finisher takes on Borella on the UFC’s Sept. 19 event, which takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Silva, who punched her ticket to the UFC through “Dana White’s Contender Series” in 2018, has split her first two octagon appearances. After picking up an impressive first-round submission against Gillian Robertson , Silva was sidelined for a year-and-a-half due to double knee surgery, eventually making her return this past March. Though she would suffer her first career blemish to Maryna Moroz, Silva saw it as a valuable lesson and vows to bounce back stronger.

5 burning questions heading into UFC on ESPN+ 25

BAD MMA News — Fri, 14 Feb 2020 14:21:31 +0000

With Jon Jones’ narrow victory over Dominick Reyes last weekend at UFC 247 — which came seven months after his narrow victory over Thiago Santos at UFC 239 — the UFC’s light heavyweight division is suddenly more interesting than it has been for quite some time. No longer simply a matter of Jones lording over a cast of over-the-hills and also-rans, 205 pounds is a land of intrigue. And the increased interest from UFC 247’s result carries over into this weekend’s UFC on ESPN+ 25. Corey Anderson meets Jan Blachowicz in a light heavyweight showdown Saturday night in the main event of the UFC’s return to New Mexico. It’s a rematch of a bout won by Anderson (13-4 MMA, 10-4 UFC) in 2015, but so much has changed in the meantime that this may as well be an all-new matchup. And while many fans continue to clamor for an immediate rematch between Jones and Reyes in the wake of Jones’ highly controversial decision win in Houston, the victor on Saturday night will have a real claim for a title shot, too
