Rising bantamweight talent Jacqueline Cavalcanti will face her most difficult test to date this fall.
The 27-year-old Portugal native will square off against former title challenger Mayra Bueno Silva at a UFC Fight Night event on Nov. 8. A location and headliner for the card have not been confirmed by the Las Vegas-based promotion. Ag.Fight was first to report the 135-pound booking.
Cavalcanti, Bueno Silva Trending in Opposite Directions
Anchored at Syndicate MMA, Cavalcanti has kicked off her UFC tenure with four consecutive triumphs. Most recently, “The Nightmare” took a unanimous verdict over Julia Avila at UFC Fight Night 251 on Feb. 15. Cavalcanti has lost just once in 10 professional outings overall.
Bueno Silva is winless in her last four outings, though one of those bouts — initially a victory over Holly Holm — was overturned when the Brazilian failed a drug test. Since then, “Sheetara” has dropped three straight fights, including a five-round verdict against Raquel Pennington in a title bout at UFC 297. Bueno Silva is returning to 135 pounds following a loss to Jasmine Jasudavicius in a flyweight contest at UFC Fight Night 250 on Feb. 1.
