Barbosa was the more effective fighter in the first, dictating the terms of engagement both standing and on the canvas. The second was closer, with Silva having positive moments early and threatening with a submission from her back before Barbosa closed out the round in top position once again. In the third, Silva pressed and found success, chasing a couple different submission attempts, only for Barbosa to reverse her way into the guard and close things out on top.
When the scorecards were collected and totalled it was Silva that came out ahead, earning a measure of revenge after losing to Barbosa in their first meeting. It’s a good bounce-back win for the Dana White’s Contender Series alum, who advanced to 5-1 inside the Octagon while collecting her first win since joining forces with the Fighting Nerds.
