Holm, the former UFC bantamweight champion, weighed in at 135.5 pounds. She is coming off of a dominant win over Yana Santos in her last fight and has now won five out of her last six fights and is hoping a big win this weekend will get her the next title shot in the wide open women’s bantamweight division.
Bueno Silva, who is ranked No. 10 in the UFC bantamweight rankings, weighed in at 136 pounds. This will be her first UFC main event. Bueno Silva is coming off a win over Lina Lansberg in her last fight. She is looking to make a statement and move up the rankings with a win over Holm.

Holm is the more experienced fighter, but Bueno Silva is the younger and more aggressive fighter. Holm will need to use her striking to keep Bueno Silva at bay, while Bueno Silva will need to close the distance and use her grappling to get the win.
The rest of the card is also full of exciting matchups, and it should be a great night of fights.
