Oh boy, get ready for this one. We’ve got a women’s bantamweight clash that’s sure to get pulses racing. Mayra Bueno Silva is set to throw down with Macy Chiasson at UFC 303. This matchup? It’s like adding a pinch of dynamite to an already explosive card.
The announcement dropped on Tuesday, straight from the folks in Vegas. And where’s it all going down? None other than the T-Mobile Arena, smack dab in the heart of Las Vegas, on June 29. But wait, there’s more. The cherry on top? Conor McGregor vs. Michael Chandler is headlining. Talk about a blockbuster.
Now, let’s chat about Silva for a sec. She’s stepping back into the octagon for the first time since UFC 297. Remember that? She faced off against Raquel Pennington and, well, it didn’t go her way. But, let’s not forget, Silva’s record is nothing to scoff at. She’s sitting at 5-3-1 with a no contest thrown in for good measure. “Sheetara,” as she’s known, isn’t someone you’d want to take lightly.
Switching gears to Chiasson. She’s coming off a win, having choked out Pannie Kianzad at UFC Fight Night 239. And guess what? That was her first fight in a year and a half. Talk about a comeback. Chiasson, who snagged the “The Ultimate Fighter 28” crown, has been bouncing between 145 and 135 pounds. Her UFC record? Impressive, at 7-3.
So, there you have it. A showdown that’s got everyone buzzing. Silva vs. Chiasson at UFC 303. Mark your calendars, folks. This one’s going to be a barnburner.
