Raquel Pennington Form
Raquel Pennington is the #2 women’s bantamweight contender with a record of 15-8 (1 KO, 4 Subs).
Pennington has competed in the UFC since November 2013 and has fought a who’s who of fighters in the female ranks.
She has shared the ring with the likes of Amanda Nunes, Germaine de Randamie and Holly Holm during her career, although all of those fights ended in losses.
The 35-year-old American does, however, boast a decision win over Miesha Tate and a submission victory against Jessica Andrade.
Pennington comes into this fight on a career-best run of form that has seen here win five consecutive fights.
This streak started with unanimous decision wins over Marion Reneau and Pannie Kianzad, which was followed by a second-round submission victory over Macy Chiasson.
She then beat Aspen Ladd via unanimous decision in April 2022, before edging Ketlen Vieira by split decision in her only outing of 2023.
Mayra Bueno Silva Form
Mayra Bueno Silva is the #3 ranked women’s bantamweight contender with a record of 10-2-1 (1 KO, 7 Subs) with 1 No Contest.
Bueno Silva debuted in the UFC in September 2018 after an appearance on Dana White’s Contender Series.
She won her debut fight, submitting Gillian Robertson in the first round, but struggled for consistency over her next four fights as she went 1-2 with one draw.
The 32-year-old Brazilian has launched herself into contention over the past 24 months though.
Bueno Silva beat Wu Yanan by decision in April 2022, before submitting Stephanie Egger in the first round later that year.
‘Sheetara’ then tapped out Lina Lansberg in February 2023, setting up a fight with former champion Holly Holm last summer.
She submitted Holm in the second round of that contest, but the fight was later overturned to a no-contest after Bueno Silva failed a drug test.
Verdict
Raquel Pennington is a seasoned campaigner enjoying the best run of form in her career.
She has the skillset needed to grind out a decision win and claim the women’s bantamweight title.
