Overview

• On August 16 at UFC 319, Silva earned a unanimous decision over Barbosa with all judges scoring the bout 29-28 in her favor.
• The rematch featured persistent takedowns, multiple back-take battles and submission attempts that shifted momentum across each round.
• Silva bounced back from a decision loss to Viviane Araujo to extend her UFC success following her move to the Fighting Nerds camp.
• Barbosa entered off a bonus-winning arm-triangle choke over Diana Belbita and had blamed her 2019 outing on being “brought to lose,” but she could not counter Silva’s late fight control.
