UFC flyweight Mayra Bueno Silva moved back to Brazil to plan wife’s pregnancy
Mayra Bueno Silva joined The Fighting Nerds ahead of her UFC Saudi Arabia clash with Jasmine Jasudavicius on Feb. 1 but that decision isn’t related to training or her MMA career.
“Sheetara”, who trained at American Top Team in Florida prior to the move, told MMA Fighting that returning to Sao Paulo, the home state of her wife Gloria de Paula, was to start grow the family. Together since August of 2016, Silva and de Paula are now planning to have a baby.
“We’re going to be moms,” Silva said, “so we’ll start the in vitro fertilization process and be close to family, close to home and out moms, because it’s a hard process for Gloria while I’m in camp. I want her to be as comfortable as possible and surrounded by love. That’s why we’re back. I love American Top Team, I love my little man ‘Parrumpa’. We had no issues, nothing like that. We only came back because we decided to become mothers.”
Silva competed for the UFC bantamweight belt in January 2024 and now returns to flyweight looking for more challenges. De Paula, on the other hand, went 0-2 since parting ways with the UFC in June 2022. “Sheetara” also wants to get pregnant one day, she said, but it’s “Glorinha’s” turn now.
“We started the IVF process now,” Silva said. “Gloria will get pregnant now, and in the future it’s my turn. I really want to get pregnant. My dream as a child was to get married and become a mom. I want to get pregnant in the future, yes.
“I dream of being a mother, too, and the end of the career comes faster for women,” she continued. “I believe I have what, five years left in my career? If you think about it, it’s not a lot. Men last longer. So I want to enjoy every little moment, every fight. We fight two, three times a year, and that’s not much for all the hard work we put in. I want to enjoy every process because it all ends so fast, and one day I’ll be telling my kids what I used to do.”
The 33-year-old fighter is cutting back to flyweight more than three years after leaving the division looking for “motivation” and “fun” after coming up short in a title fight at bantamweight.
“It’s the fun of starting something new in a quest for a belt, something that lights up a fire in me again.” Silva said. “Can I do it? Can I go after another belt? It’s hard, but it lights up a cool fire in me, it keeps me alive.”
Cutting the extra 10 pounds isn’t easy, though, and “Sheetara” has to make sacrifices in order to get down to 125 pounds on Friday morning. Yet, Silva said that being “extremely hyperactive” helps her deal with hard tasks. Her last flyweight bout was a decision loss to Manon Fiorot in Las Vegas — and she absolutely hates looking back at that fight week.
“The weight cut for Fiorot is something I don’t even like remembering because she had COVID at that time [and postponed the fight] and I had to cut weight twice,” Silva said. “It was very sad to me, you know? That’s when I had concussion because of the dehydration. It was a horrible fight, the worst fight of my life. That was a very painful process in my life.
“I’m healthy now, I’m fine, I’m cutting down in weight and it’s good. Is it hard? Yeah, sometimes you go to a party and can’t eat. You can’t go to the movies, you have restrictions at home. Sometimes Gloria wants to eat something and I can’t, but I’m trying to enjoy the process because I don’t have much time left doing this.”
Jasudavicius, winner of her past three with two $50,000 performance bonuses cashed, welcomes Silva back to the flyweight division looking to enter the top 10 of the UFC’s 125-pound weight class. Silva knows her well, and sees holes in her game.
“We have similar styles, she’s a grappling finisher and so am I,” Silva said. “I love Jasmine. We’ve trained together at American Top Team and she’s sensational, has super high-level grappling and I have to be careful or she can complicate things for me. But she’s good at something I’m excellent at, which is finishing fights. The match-up is bad for her, I think. We see many holes in her game, but she’s a very tough girl.”
UFC flyweight Mayra Bueno Silva has announced that she is moving back to her home country of Brazil in order to plan for her wife’s pregnancy. The 26-year-old fighter made the decision to return to Brazil in order to be closer to her family and have the support system she needs during this important time in her life.Silva, who made her UFC debut in 2018, has quickly become a rising star in the flyweight division. Known for her aggressive fighting style and impressive grappling skills, Silva has quickly climbed the ranks and is now looking to take some time off from fighting in order to focus on starting a family with her wife.
In a recent interview, Silva expressed her excitement about the next chapter in her life, saying, “I am so grateful for the opportunity to become a mother and start a family with my wife. This is something we have been dreaming of for a long time and I am thrilled to be able to focus on this new chapter in our lives.”
While Silva is taking a break from fighting to focus on her family, she has made it clear that she is not retiring from the sport and plans to return to the octagon once she has welcomed her new addition to the family. Fans of Silva can expect to see her back in action in the near future, but for now, she is focused on planning for the arrival of her new little one.

Why Jasmine Jasudavicius Will Win
- Last Fight: (W) Ariane Lipski da Silva – SUB (d’arce choke, R3)
- Last 5: 4-1
- Finishes: 2 KO/TKO, 3 SUB
Jasmine Jasudavicius has been on a tear since suffering her last UFC loss in September 2023. She’s won three-straight fights while finding two d’arce finishes, earning a Performance of the Night bonus in both of those efforts. She’s a classically-trained jiu jitsu practitioner and is very hard to stop on the ground, never being submitted in her professional career. Her boxing has also greatly improved over the last few fights as she uses it to set up her takedowns along the fence. Look for her to lean more on her striking in this one against a tough grappler like Silva.

Jasmine Jasudavicius also fights with an extremely high IQ and doesn’t tend to put herself in many dangerous positions. She’s very patient in finding her offense and likes to remain steady with her striking attack while timing her opponent’s rhythm. She’ll have some knockout power coming back her way, so expect Jasudavicius to stay moving in the pocket as she looks to slip punches and counter from in close.
Why Mayra Bueno Silva Will Win
- Last Fight: (L) Macy Chiasson – TKO (doctor stoppage)
- Last 5: 2-2-1
- Finishes: 1 KO/TKO, 7 SUB
Mayra Bueno Silva will be returning to action following her last fight being cut short by a doctor’s stoppage. Silva had sustained a cut from an elbow and it was one of the nastier cuts we’ve seen in recent memory. She was holding her own during the fight, but a big focal point for her moving forward will be improving her defense and not allowing opponents to connect with clean shots. Her power allows her to have an advantage during a slug fest, but she’ll need to be conscious of her own well-being if she plans to fight like that.
With seven wins by submission, Mayra Bueno Silva will look to force this fight to the ground. She hasn’t notched one of her signature submissions in three fights, so it’ll be interesting to see how willing she is to engage in the grappling during this one. Still, Silva usually begins her attack on the feet and will look to back her opponent into a corner. From there, look for her to utilize the clinch as she’s one of the stronger fighters in the weight class.
Final Jasmine Jasudavicius-Mayra Bueno Silva Prediction & Pick
This should be a great fight between two high-level grapplers as both women are capable of finding submissions quickly. Jasmine Jasudavicius has won her last three fights while Mayra Bueno Silva is searching for her first win in two years. We can’t forget that she recently fought for the title and has effectively beaten some of the top fighters in the division.
Still, I believe the biggest difference in this fight will be the foot movement of Jasmine Jasudavicius. She’s the much faster and agile fighter, so she should be able to circle away from Silva and tire her out by the third round. It’ll be a close fight if they begin grappling, but I expect Jasudavicius to dictate this one with her striking from range. For our final betting prediction, let’s roll with Jasudavicius to get the win as the betting favorite.
Final Jasmine Jasudavicius-Mayra Bueno Silva Prediction & Pick: Jasmine Jasudavicius (-230)
