About Natália Silva

Speed and precision in flyweight's new generation

Natália Silva emerged as one of the main threats to Valentina Shevchenko's reign and one of the most consistent rises in recent women's MMA. The Brazilian reached the UFC after a career built far from the spotlight, and since her debut she has strung together win after win to establish herself among the best flyweights in the world.

Fighting style

Her style is built on constant movement, stance switches and a far wider kicking repertoire than most of her opponents. Silva is especially good at moving in and out of range without leaving herself open to the return, and she mixes body and leg attacks with straight punches and counters. That ability to control the exchanges has let her prevail even against far more experienced opponents.

Rise to contention

Wins over Jessica Andrade, Alexa Grasso and Rose Namajunas cemented her standing in the division. In January 2026 she beat Namajunas by unanimous decision, extending her winning streak to fourteen fights, eight of them in the UFC.
