Mayra Bueno Silva has been named among the UFC bonus winners for the UFC Vegas 77 event on July 15.
Shitara turned against former champion Holly Holm in a five-round bantamweight bout in the main event. The Brazilian defeated Holm and delivered her a Ninja Chokehold in the second round of the fight. This was Holm’s second ever loss to MMA via submission.
The 31-year-old was awarded the Performance of the Night award for her efforts and was awarded an additional $50,000 check. With the victory, Bueno Silva is now riding a four-way winning streak in the UFC.
In an emotional post-fight octagonal interview with Daniel Cormier, Cheetara called out Juliana Pena for the vacant bantamweight title.
“I get emotional. I do what they said and now I want a belt because I deserve it. Nobody ends up like me, I deserve the belt. Hey Juliana Pena, let’s go. I deserve this, you deserve this people deserve this… I’m the new face. I finish my fights. I submit Show everyone… This belt is my belt. This belt is Amanda (Nunes’) belt, it’s a Brazilian belt.” Mayra Bueno Silva.
