Rise to top continues
Silva defeated Jessica Andrade via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
With all due respect to the likes of Viviane Araujo and Andrea Lee, this was the biggest win of Silva's professional career by a wide margin, and she did it in impressive fashion. It took Natalia a little while to figure out the aggressiveness of Andrade, but once she did, this fight wasn't close. Silva had an overwhelming speed edge on the feet, and that led to her nearly doubling up Andrade in terms of total strikes landed (119-62). Natalia didn't spend virtually any time in a compromising position and appeared aware of her surroundings at all times. Now a perfect 6-0 in the company, the 27-year-old Brazilian stands a darn good chance of competing for a UFC title at some point in the next 12-18 months. In the meantime, she'll walk away with a $50,000 bonus after this matchup was awarded Fight of the Night honors.

Fighting Andrade in September
Silva will take on Jessica Andrade at a UFC event in Las Vegas on September 7, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Silva will put her undefeated UFC record on the line against the veteran Andrade in Las Vegas in September. The younger Silva will head into the fight riding an 11-fight win streak across promotions, most recently coming off a decision victory over Viviane Araujo. Silva will be tested against the experience of Andrade, though Silva will surely hope to use a size and reach advantage to her benefit in the bout.

Remains perfect in UFC
Silva defeated Viviane Araujo via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Silva improves to 5-0 with the UFC. This was not the dominant effort we have seen from her in the past, although she certainly had her moments. Natalia's style of fighting is similar to Stephen Thompson. She's employs a karate-style attack with plenty of kicks and laser-fast hands. The difference in striking speed between these two was laughable. Silva isn't much of a grappler, and she spent too much of this fight being controlled by Araujo along the fence. At age 27, she remains one of the brightest prospects in a division severely lacking depth.

Slated to fight Araujo
Silva will square off against Viviane Araujo at a UFC event on Feb. 3, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Silva is coming off a win over Andrea Lee via unanimous decision at UFC 292 to bring her record with the company to 4-0. She will look to carry that momentum into her bout with Araujo, who is sports a 6-4 record and coming off a win over Jennifer Maia.
