Here's the match video of Montana De La Rosa vs Mayra Bueno Silva from last night's UFC show in Las Vegas. This fight is at Flyweight. Montana and her UFC fighter husband train at Elevation in Denver with Eliot Marshall. She has decent ground skills but her striking is sub par. Mayra was in the Brazilian Contender Series. Then she blew out her knee while winning a fight over Gillian Robertson. She trains at Chute Boxe in Sao Paulo with Diego Lima. The story here is Mayra was deducted a point for fence grabbing to avoid a takedown. Normally refs will issue a warning for fence grabbing. But he had to deduct a point because of the takedown. If not for the deduction, Mayra wins the fight 29-28 though I think she should have won anyway. Mayra did a lot of damage in the clinch with knees and elbows. Montana did get a couple of takedowns. But I didn't think she advanced her position enough to get a lot of credit for that. Her takedowns didn't mean much. I scored round one 9-9 with the point deducted and so did the judges. I scored round two 10-9 for Mayra but the judges all scored it 10-9 for Montana. I scored round three 10-9 for Mayra. So did two of the judges and the third scored it 10-8. So it ended up as a majority draw. I saw some criticism of Mayra's fighting style. She is actually pretty good at the Chute Boxe style similar to Cris Cyborg. She needs work on her takedown defense but I'm sure Lima noticed that. Enjoy the video!
