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.

Stays unbeaten in UFC
Silva defeated Andrea Lee via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC 292 on Saturday in Boston.
ANALYSIS
Silva improved to 4-0 in the UFC and did so by dismantling a veteran in Lee, albeit one on a losing skid. Silva won the striking battle in terms of both volume and accuracy in each of the three rounds of what was essentially a 15-minute kickboxing match. Not only did she get off first while Lee struggled to get inside, but Silva landed the far more damaging shots as well. At 26 years old, it appears Silva is ready for a significant step up in competition.

Scheduled to fight Lee
Silva will fight Andrea Lee in a flyweight bout scheduled for UFC 292 at Boston on Aug 19, according to Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
If this fight comes to fruition, it would be Silva's first UFC pay-per-view fight. Including her success in other promotions, a win over Lee would improve Silva's winning streak to 10. As for her opponent, she is looking to redeem herself after a tight split-decision loss to Maycee Barber back in March.
