After earning her way to the octagon via Dana White’s Contender Series Brazil, Mayra Bueno Silva (5-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) impressed in her UFC debut, tapping out Gillian Robertson (5-3 MMA, 2-1 UFC). The women’s flyweight bout took place on the UFC Fight Pass-streamed prelims of tonight’s UFC Fight Night 137 event from Ibirapuera Gymnasium in Sao Paulo. Additional prelim bouts followed on FS2 prior to the main card on FS1. Bueno Silva walked forward confidently to open the matchup, but Robertson made it clear she wasn’t looking to strike, instead immediately hunting the takedown. A first attempt missed and was met with an elbow, but a second effort saw Robertson get to top position, eventually stepping out to side control. Bueno Silva alertly scrambled at her first opportunity, getting to the feet and landing a big right hand.
