Grabs close decision
Silva defeated Dione Barbosa via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC 319 on Saturday in Chicago, Illinois.
ANALYSIS
Silva looked out of sorts in Round 1, as the usually aggressive fighter took a backseat to an advancing opponent. Things were a bit more competitive in Round 2 before a tight choke almost finished the fight and secured Round 3. While the fight was close by the letter of the law, there is no doubt about who had the more dominant moments, which should work to tamp down on any controversy. Silva moves to 19-5-0 in professional MMA as a result of the victory.

Dreadful UFC 309 performance
Silva lost to Viviane Araujo via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC 309 on Saturday in New York City.
ANALYSIS
Entering with an undefeated mark in her first four UFC bouts and widely viewed as a future title challenger at 125 pounds, Silva will see her stock come crashing down after this performance. She certainly had her moments, and there's most definitely a case to be made she was responsible for the more notable moments of the fight, but Silva's cardio looked terrible, and that led to her flopping to her back on multiple occasions in Round 3 hoping for a rest. The optics were absolutely awful, and the judges weren't fooled by the performance. Set to turn 31 years of age in early-December, Silva is not some young prospect. The only thing saving her for the moment is the fact she competes in a division with very little depth.
