Karine 'Killer' Silva is a Brazilian finisher from the Fighting Nerds camp and the UFC's No. 11-ranked flyweight, with 17 of her 19 wins by knockout or submission, most inside a round. She hunts submissions off aggressive grappling exchanges but can be outworked by bigger, steadier wrestlers, and has dropped back-to-back decisions to Maycee Barber and Jasmine Jasudavicius. She now looks to snap that skid against fellow finisher Gabriella Fernandes.
