She most recently defeated Yana Santos by unanimous decision this past March.
Mayra Bueno Silva has also gone 3-1 in her last four fights, but those three wins have come in sequence and she now looks to win her fourth in a row.
Bueno Silva defeated Wu Yanan by decision before moving on to submit both Stephanie Egger and, most recently, Lina Lansberg - a win that earned her a performance bonus.
The former champion will stand two inches taller and have a 3.5-inch reach advantage this Saturday. But Bueno Silva, boasting a purple belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu will have a ten-year advantage in youth.

Jack Della Maddalena vs Bassil Hafez - Welterweight Division
In what will be his UFC debut, Bassil Hafez couldn’t have had worse luck in drawing Jack Della Maddalena as a last-minute opponent in this co-main event that replaces a heavyweight scrap between Walt Harris and Josh Parisian.
Hafez is on a two-fight winning streak - both fights taking place under the Fury FC banner - but that isn’t much when compared to Della Maddalena’s 14-fight winning streak.
Yes, after losing his first two professional bouts back-to-back, Maddalena has now not lost a fight since 2016 and recently broke into the top-15 of the welterweight rankings.
He has finished all four of his fights in the UFC within the first round, most recently submitting Randy Brown this past February. He has three performance bonuses in a row as well.
These two men will stand at equal height but Maddalena will have a one-inch reach advantage. And for all the reasons listed above, it is no surprise that Maddalena is being looked upon as a staggering -760 favorite.
Ottman Azaitar vs Francisco Prado - Lightweight Division
Ottman Azaitar is looking to make a big statement this Saturday as the German-born fighter is coming off of the first loss of his career.
After winning 13 straight (including two in the UFC), Azaitar was knocked out in the first round of his November 2022 bout against Matt Frevola.
His opponent, Francisco Prado, is also coming off of a loss, as he dropped his UFC debut in February to Jamie Mullarkey via unanimous decision.
Albert Duraev vs Junyong Park - Middleweight Division
A member of the UFC roster since 2019, Junyong Park now has a promotional record of 6-2 and will be looking for his fourth win in a row this weekend as he looks to defeat Albert Duraev.
Duraev, who has a win in the Dana White Contender Series, has gone just 1-1 since joining the UFC. He was defeated via doctor’s stoppage TKO at the hands of Joaquin Buckley but bounced back in his last fight against Chidi Njokuani - whom he defeated by split decision in March.
Park has won his last three fights - his most recent two both by submission. Earlier this year he submitted Denis Tiuliulin with a rear-naked choke in the first round.
Norma Dumont vs Chelsea Chandler - Women’s Featherweight Division
Currently, on a two-fight winning streak, Norma Dumont has earned back-to-back unanimous decision victories - most recently over Karol Rosa at a UFC Fight Night event this past April.
Dumont takes on Chelsea Chandler this Saturday, a fighter who, despite only having a 5-1 record, hasn’t been defeated since her professional debut back in 2018.
Chandler is coming off of a first-round TKO win over Julija Stoliarenko that took place last October in what was her UFC debut.
Terrance McKinney vs Nazim Sadykhov - Lightweight Division
With a purple belt in BJJ and NJCAA wrestling credentials to his name, Terrance McKinney is just 1-2 in his last three fights after winning five in a row prior.
He last fought this past January at UFC 283, where he was knocked out by a flying knee in the second round by Ismael Bonfim.
Nazim Sadykhov will be making just his second UFC appearance but won his debut in February against Evan Elder via TKO. the debut win marked his eighth professional win in a row.
Saykhov has not been defeated since his professional debut in 2018.
These two fighters will stand at an equal height but it is McKinney who will have a four-inch reach advantage.
