Mayra Bueno Silva thanks Cris Cyborg for showing her champion mentality after UFC Vegas 51 win

Women’s bantamweight Mayra Bueno Silva picked up an important victory at UFC Vegas 51. After going three rounds against Yanan Wu and scoring a unanimous decision win, the Brazilian could not exclude former champion Cris Cyborg when talking about her training camp for this fight.

In an interview with Combate, Silva once again mentioned how much help and insight Cyborg gave her when Mayra decided to move to the United States to train. Not only that, but ‘Sheetara’ says that even by observing the former champion’s work ethic, she was able to become a better fighter herself.
