Mayra Bueno Silva, Holly Holm to Clash in July 15 UFC Fight Night Headliner

The upcoming July 15 UFC Fight Night event at The Apex in Las Vegas
has a new headliner.

Former
Ultimate Fighting Championship women’s 135-pound queen Holly Holm
and Mayra
Bueno Silva will collide this summer, with Holm replacing
Miesha
Tate after she suffered a hand injury. The news was first
reported by The MMA
Hour on Wednesday and then confirmed by multiple outlets.

Holm (15-6, 8-6 UFC) is looking to add another victory to her
legacy. “The Preacher’s Daughter” is coming off a
unanimous-decision win over Yana Santos
at UFC on ESPN 43, where the boxing hall of famer bounced back from
a narrow split-decision loss to Ketlen
Vieira in May 2022. Prior, the Jackson-Wink MMA representative
defeated Irene
Aldana and Raquel
Pennington.

Bueno Silva (10-2-1, 5-2-1 UFC), a
Dana White’s Contender Series graduate, is currently riding a
three-bout winning streak after overcoming Yanan Wu,
Stephanie
Egger and Lina
Lansberg.
