The culmination of the journey to crown a new women’s bantamweight champion is just one step away after the conclusive faceoff between UFC 297 co-headliners Raquel Pennington and Mayra Bueno Silva.
Set to take place in the co-main event at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Pennington (15-8 MMA, 12-5 UFC) and Bueno Silva (10-2-1 MMA, 5-2-1 UFC) will vie for the vacant title left behind by Amanda Nunes’ retirement in June of the previous year.
