Karine Silva - News & Rumors - UFC | FOX Sports

Snaps brief losing streak Silva defeated Gabriella Fernandes via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.

Impact Silva didn't look the part of a -250 favorite, nor were the stats particularly reflective of how this fight went. Karine closed with a 159-69 edge in total strikes landed, although just a 52-44 edge in those deemed "significant." To Silva's credit, she did make a push late, which was enough to put her over the top. Few fighters on the card needed a win more than Silva, who entered with a 1-3 mark in her prior four bouts.

Booked versus Fernandes Silva will fight Gabriella Fernandes at UFC Vegas 124 on Nov. 7, Marcel Dorff of Heavy on Sports reports.

Impact Silva has lost each of her last two matches -- to Jasmine Jasudavicius and Maycee Barber, so she will look to bounce back versus Fernandes in November. Fernandes has a one-inch advantage in height and reach over her fellow Brazilian, but also lost her most recent bout with Casey O'Neill via a first round knockout.

Unable to generate offense in loss Silva lost to Jasmine Jasudavicius via unanimous decision (28-29-28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night 273 on Saturday in Winnipeg.

Impact Silva was given Round 1 by all three judges for slightly higher output, but there wasn't much she could do to stop Jasudavicius from finding the clinch and bringing her to the ground. "Killer" implemented her usual active guard, and while it was effective in spots, the majority of this bout saw her pinned on her back, with her opponent looking for opportunities to advance. This is the second consecutive fight in which Silva was muted by a more physical fighter, which may signal a limit to her upside as a smaller grappler. She fell to 19-7-0 in professional MMA due to the loss.

Inconsistent ways continue Silva lost to Maycee Barber via unanimous decision (27-30, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC 323 on Saturday in Las Vegas.

Impact It wasn't that Silva fought poorly in this fight, but it didn't feel as if she accomplished a whole heck of a lot. She was credited with 21 significant strikes landed. She did connect on two successful takedowns, but Barber was typically able to overwhelm her at the point of attack. In addition, Silva should have been docked a point by referee Mark Smith for kicking her downed opponent in the fact on two different occasions. Ultimately, it didn't matter. Silva turned 32 years of age last week and has alternated wins and losses in her past four fights after a hot start to her UFC run. There isn't much here in regards to long-term ceiling.

Grabs close decision Silva defeated Dione Barbosa via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC 319 on Saturday in Chicago, Illinois.

Impact Silva looked out of sorts in Round 1, as the usually aggressive fighter took a backseat to an advancing opponent. Things were a bit more competitive in Round 2 before a tight choke almost finished the fight and secured Round 3. While the fight was close by the letter of the law, there is no doubt about who had the more dominant moments, which should work to tamp down on any controversy. Silva moves to 19-5-0 in professional MMA as a result of the victory.
