Silva is a Brazilian flyweight contender on a 14-fight win streak, unbeaten in the UFC with wins over Grasso, Andrade and Namajunas. A taekwondo-based southpaw, she fights off constant movement, speed and unorthodox kicks, and is nearly impossible to take down. Her long-awaited title shot against Valentina Shevchenko fell apart when Shevchenko withdrew with a serious back and shoulder injury and vacated the belt; Silva now fights Wang Cong for the vacant championship instead.
