The UFC 303 event slated for International Fight Week continues to build anticipation with the recent addition of a compelling women’s bantamweight showdown between Mayra Bueno Silva and Macy Chiasson.
Scheduled to take place on June 29 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, UFC 303 promises an electrifying lineup, headlined by the highly anticipated return of superstar Conor McGregor as he faces former Bellator champion Michael Chandler.
For Mayra Bueno Silva (10-3-1), this fight marks her comeback after a challenging bout against Raquel Pennington in January for the vacant women’s bantamweight title. Before that setback, Bueno Silva was riding a three-fight winning streak, including a no-contest against Holly Holm that was initially recorded as a win.
On the other side of the octagon, Macy Chiasson (10-3) enters the bout fresh off a stellar performance last month, where she secured a first-round submission victory against Pannie Kianzad, earning her a well-deserved $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus. This win came after a tough KO loss to Irene Aldana in 2022, showing Chiasson’s resilience and determination.
The addition of Bueno Silva vs. Chiasson adds even more excitement to the already stacked UFC 303 lineup, which includes other thrilling matchups such as Jamahal Hill vs. Khalil Rountree, Andre Fili vs. Cub Swanson, Gillian Robertson vs. Michelle Waterson-Gomez, Carlos Hernandez vs. Rei Tsuruya, and Marc-Andre Barriault vs. Joe Pyfer.
With the stage set for an action-packed night of fights during International Fight Week, fans can expect fireworks in the octagon as Bueno Silva and Chiasson clash in what promises to be a captivating battle for supremacy in the women’s bantamweight division.
