Another win, title shot next? Silva defeated Alexa Grasso via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC 315 on Saturday in Montreal. Impact Silva has now defeated a pair of former UFC champions -- Grasso and Jessica Andrade -- in a span of eight months without dropping a single round in the process. This performance was a thing of beauty. Recognizing her advantage in terms of both hand and foot speed, Silva simply kept circling and dismantled Grasso with counter shots. It was a smart game plan that was executed to perfection. Now 7-0 in the UFC with wins over Grasso, Andrade, and rising contender Jasmine Jasudavicius, Silva has a real argument to be next in line for the winner of this evening's UFC Women's Flyweight Championship fight between title holder Valentina Shevchenko and challenger Manon Fiorot.
