Natalia Silva

Natália Silva is a Brazilian mixed martial artist competing in the UFC women’s flyweight division. As of September 22, 2026, the UFC lists her as an active athlete, fighting out of Team Borracha in Contagem, Minas Gerais. Born in Timóteo, Brazil, on February 3, 1997, Silva is listed at 5 feet 4 inches with a 65-inch reach. Her athletic foundation is taekwondo: she began training through a social program in her hometown as a teenager and later carried that kicking-based background into MMA.

Silva turned professional in 2015 and won the Jungle Fight championship before reaching the UFC. Although she had signed with the promotion earlier, injuries delayed her first Octagon appearance until June 18, 2022, when she debuted against Jasmine Jasudavicius. UFC coverage has characterized her as a dynamic, light-footed striker, while her official profile also notes a jiu-jitsu blue belt and a preference for armlocks. Her UFC résumé includes decision victories over established flyweights such as Jéssica Andrade, Alexa Grasso and Rose Namajunas, helping establish her as a leading contender in the division. She has not held a UFC championship as of September 22, 2026.
