Mayra Bueno Silva opens as betting favorite to beat Raquel Pennington in UFC 297 title fight in Canada

Streaking Brazilian contender, Mayra Bueno Silva is currently riding a heavy betting favorite line to take the vacant bantamweight title when the Octagon touches down in Toronto, Canada on January 20. – as she prepares for a clash against former title challenger, Raquel Pennington at UFC 297.

Bueno Silva, the current number three ranked bantamweight contender, has been sidelined since her initial second round ninja choke submission win over former undisputed bantamweight champion, Holly Holm back in July, after she tested positive for ritalinic acid, resulting in the overturning of the bout to an official ‘No Contest’.
