Raquel Pennington vs. Mayra Bueno Silva UFC 297 Prediction
Raquel Pennington (15-9-0)
In her 10-plus years of fighting under the UFC banner, Pennington has answered one call after another to take fights against the best women in the world. With wins over Miesha Tate, Irene Aldana, and Aspen Ladd, Pennington is one of the best condition fighters at Bantamweight and absolutely deserves this title shot. It doesn’t hurt she comes in on a five-fight win streak, as she’ll look to take the belt she likely feels is already hers.

Mayra Bueno Silva (10-2-1)
Joining the UFC in 2018 via DWCS, Bueno Silva has had a rather quick rise to this title shot. Coming into Saturday 5-2 in her time with the promotion, Bueno Silva has wins over Gillian Robertson, Mara Borella, and Stephanie Egger, each more convincing than the last. Coming into Saturday, she’s also riding a three-fight win streak, and if she can get this fight to the ground, has an excellent chance of making it four and earning herself the title.
Raquel Pennington vs. Mayra Bueno Silva Pick
With 19 fights under the UFC banner, Pennington has seen just about everything when it comes to competition at the highest level. While Bueno Silva has the edge on the ground, I think Pennington’s striking can win her early rounds as she grinds out a decision win.
