Natalia Silva

At #1 in the women's flyweight rankings, Natalia Silva is past the "prospect" stage. This is contender territory, and every fight from here is a title eliminator in disguise.

Volume is the weapon: 4.81 significant strikes a minute on 49% accuracy. Rounds get won on attrition — opponents drown in output long before the final bell. Add the southpaw stance, and the puzzle gets harder still.

He arrives on a 5-fight win streak — most recently Rose Namajunas, Decision - Unanimous. Streaks like that don't stay unnoticed for long.
