Starts night with victory by sub
FlyweightUFC
August 20, 2023
Silva defeated Maryna Moroz via submission (guillotine choke) at 4:59 of Round 1 at UFC 292 on Saturday in Boston.
ANALYSIS
Silva doubled the amount of total strikes landed by Moroz (52-to-25) and even executed a takedown, but still found herself in a not-so-favorable position later in the round. That didn't matter in the least, however, as Silva threw up a guillotine from her back that had Moroz tapping just seconds before the final bell rang for Round 1. A former Contender Series product, Silva is now 3-0 under the UFC banner, with all three victories coming by first-round submission. The 29-year-old appears due for a step up in competition next time out.
Looks to improve to 3-0 at UFC 292
FlyweightUFC
June 11, 2023
Silva will take on Maryna Moroz in a flyweight matchup at UFC 292 on August 19 in Boston, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Silva earned her UFC deal via Dana White's Contender Series back in 2021, and nearly two years later, she'll be looking to improve to 3-0 in official UFC fights against Moroz. Moroz last competed in November, when she had a three-fight winning streak broken by Jennifer Maia. She'll now look to bounce back against Silva, who is a dedicated finisher -- all 16 of her pro victories have came by way of stoppage. Grappling has been Silva's best tool in her brief UFC run, though it's worth noting that Moroz has yet to be submitted in 15 professional fights. She does sport just a 47 percent takedown defense, so Silva will likely be looking to drag her to the mat early.
Cruises to easy submission win
FlyweightUFC
June 3, 2023
Silva defeated Ketlen Souza via submission (kneebar) at 1:45 of Round 1 at UFC on ESPN 46 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Silva was due to fight Priscila Cachoeira in late-April, but that bout was cancelled when the latter missed weight by four pounds. She finally got her chance to step into the Octagon for a second time here against Souza and responded with another dominant victory. It was academic as soon as Silva was able to grab a limb on the mat. The sample size is obviously extremely small, and Silva has no history of facing, let alone defeating, better competition, but she couldn't have looked any better during her brief time with the company to date.

Silva will take on Kelten Souza at UFC Vegas 74 on June 3, Nolan King of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Silva scored an impressive submission win last June against Poliana Botelho in her UFC debut. She was supposed to fight again a couple weeks ago, but missed weight and the fight was scratched. Souza will be making her promotional debut in early June.
Cachoeira misses weight, fight off

April 21, 2023
Silva won't face Priscila Cachoeira at UFC Vegas 71 on Saturday after Cachoeira came in four pounds over the flyweight limit, Nolan King of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
The two sides were apparently unable to agree on a purse penalty after Cachoeria weighed in four pounds heavy. Silva won her UFC debut against Poliana Botelho last June and will have to wait before re-entering the Octagon.
