Early career

Starting her career in 2016, Silva only needed 3 fights on the regional Brazilian scene, winning all three and the Batalha MMA Bantamweight title in the process, to be invited onto Dana White's Contender Series Brazil 1. Making quick work of Mayana Souza dos Santos via ninja choke in the first round, she earned a contract to the UFC. [8]
