Cut leads to second straight loss
Bueno Silva lost to Macy Chiasson via TKO (doctor's stoppage) at 1:58 of Round 2 at UFC 303 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
That's a tough break for Bueno Silva. Looking to get back in the win column following her poor performance against Raquel Pennington in a title fight in January, Mayra dominated nearly the entirety of Round 1. Yet, she found herself on her back early in Round 2 before getting sliced opened by a brutal elbow from Chiasson from top position. Referee Chris Tognoni eventually called the doctor in, he took a look at the cut above Bueno Silva's right eye, and that was all she wrote. The Brazilian challenged for a world title recently, but set to turn 33 years of age in late August and with zero history of defeating quality opposition, Bueno Silva's future isn't particularly bright.

Chiasson up next
Bueno Silva is scheduled to compete against Macy Chiasson in a bantamweight fight at UFC 303 in Paradise on June 29, per the UFC's announcement Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Bueno Silva will look to build up a case for another title shot by defeating Chiasson, who recently submitted Pannie Kianzad. Bueno Silva lost a championship fight to current bantamweight champion Raquel Pennington, and another defeat likely sends the Brazilian out of the division's top five.

Struggles in title fight
Bueno Silva came up short in her quest for the vacant UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship on Saturday, falling to Raquel Pennington via unanimous decision (46-49, 46-49, 45-49) at UFC 297 in Toronto.
ANALYSIS
Neither woman really distinguished themselves in what was one of the weakest title fights in recent memory, but Bueno Silva was particularly underwhelming. Her very few strong moments came early on. It appeared as if Bueno Silva was largely overwhelmed by the moment. She didn't manage her energy well and was rendered completely ineffective the final few rounds. It shouldn't be all that surprising. Despite entering as a -165 favorite, Bueno Silva has never shown much in her UFC run other than a handful of out-of-nowhere submissions. The Brazilian will be 33 years of age in late-August, and it's overwhelmingly likely this will this will end up being her only shot at UFC gold.

Set to face Pennington
Bueno Silva will fight Raquel Pennington for the vacant UFC women's bantamweight title at UFC 297 on Jan. 20 in Toronto, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Bueno Silva tested positive for a banned substance during the week of her fight against Holly Holm on July 17 and was suspended for four months on a retroactive basis. That is no longer going to be an issue soon, and she's eligible to return to the octagon at the end of November. Before the Holm fight, Bueno Silva had won her previous three contests, and she will look to secure a statement win to begin 2024 on a solid note.
