Mayra Bueno Silva vs. Mara Romero Borella set for Sept. 19 UFC event in Las Vegas

A flyweight bout between Mayra Bueno Silva vs. Mara Romero Borella is a done deal for a UFC Fight Night card on Sept. 19 in Las Vegas, sources told MMA Fighting.

The event is expected to feature a highly anticipated welterweight clash between former champion Tyron Woodley and ex-interim titleholder Colby Covington in the main event.

Silva (6-1) looks to get back on track after a “Fight of the Night” defeat to Maryna Moroz at UFC Brasilia in March, the first fight of the Dana White’s Contender Series’ prospect since suffering a serious knee injury sustained in her victorious UFC debut against Gillian Robertson in 2018.
