Natalia Silva styled on former champion Alexa Grasso, and her own title shot may be right around the corner.
On the main card of UFC 315 at Bell Centre in Montreal, Silva (19-5-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC) took on Grasso (16-5-1 MMA, 8-5-1 UFC) in an important matchup between top 5 women's flyweight contenders. After 15 minutes, Silva got her hand raised after judges turned in unanimous 30-27 scores in her favor.
Silva came out light on her feet, striking early and often. Quick punches and kicks found their target at Grasso appeared to study Silva's movements.
