Mayra Bueno Silva entered the UFC through Dana White’s Contender Series in 2018, and now it’s time for her girlfriend Gloria de Paula to walk the same path.
“Sheetara” returns to action at Saturday night’s UFC Vegas 11 against Mara Romero Borella, and the initial plan was to have “Glorinha” compete for a UFC contract three days later versus undefeated strawweight Pauline Macias. The DWCS bout was moved to Nov. 4 since the UFC is going to Fight Island next week for a series of five shows in Abu Dhabi, but the plan remains the same: two wins, one bonus and a contract.
