Mayra Bueno Silva has indicated she is moving back to the bantamweight division permanently after a disappointing loss in her recent flyweight fight against Jasmine Jasudavicius. Silva had originally hoped to compete for the flyweight title, but has realized that bantamweight is her optimal weight class for success. Following UFC's advice against returning to flyweight, she plans to fight Irene Aldana next, aiming for a matchup this September, depending on Aldana's injury status. Silva believes reinstating herself at bantamweight suits her better.
"I have a dream [of] fighting flyweight for the belt but it's not for me... I'm back at my weight class because I'm a bantamweight."
