Don’t look now but Mayra Bueno Silva has quietly put together a three-fight win streak at bantamweight following her latest performances at UFC Vegas 69.
After making the move up to 135 pounds. After beating Lina Lansberg, Silva looked great and won her second consecutive submission victory. The end came at 4:45 in the second round after Silva snatched a kneebar on the ground and extended the leg until Lansberg had no choice but to give up or risk potentially serious harm.
After the fight, Silva, now feeling energized, called for a showdown against Raquel Pennington (a bantamweight competitor) who has a current five-fight winning streak.
“Look. I’m not sure what will happen now, but I do have one question.” Silva asked Paul Felder. “Why does [Raquel Pennington] think she deserves a title shot now? You need to come here and fight with me.
“Come here, let’s go. I respect you but your fights [are] no good. Although I believe I am worthy of the title, it is too early. I want more fights
Silva dominated the fight from the beginning to the end. However, it was her grappling that proved most useful after Lansberg was placed on the floor in round 2.
The Brazilian tried to make her feel better while also threatening her with submissions, but Lansberg was able to get up and walk away after one exchange. Rather than stand the fight up, Lansberg made the ill-fated mistake of dropping back down on the ground, which allowed Silva to immediately grab onto the leg to begin latching on the submission.
When Lansberg was on the ground, Silva secured his kneebars by straightening the leg. The tap followed a fraction of a second.
The win moves Silva to 10-2-1 overall with a perfect 3-0 resume at bantamweight in the UFC.
