Who Is Mayra Bueno Silva’s Girlfriend? Is She Married? All About the UFC Star’s Relationship

Mayra Bueno Silva is on her way to an important fight at UFC 303 against Macy Chiasson. One of the more complete fighters on the UFC women’s roaster, Silva is known for her fighting skills and her relationship with Gloria de Paula. Silva has been open about her relationship and consistently posts pictures with her partner, de Paula, on social media.

Mayra Bueno Silva is 10-3-1 in her MMA career and recently lost a fight to champion Raquel Pennington as this weekend’s fight holds great significance in her attempts to remain in the title picture. As fans eagerly await the fight, let us discover a bit more about her partner Gloria de Paula’s MMA exploits. 

Mayra Bueno Silva’s partner Gloria de Paula: How did they meet?

Gloria de Paula trained out of the renowned Chute Box gym in Sao Paolo, where she met ‘Sheetara.’ The pair started dating around 2016 and Mayra Bueno Silva has been pretty open about their relationship. They’ve continued to support each other given that both are competing in the same sport. But as of now, Bueno Silva has started to emerge as a top contender in the bantamweight division.

Meanwhile, it was Mayra Bueno Silva who inspired her partner to get into Dana White’s Contender Series and aim for the stars. “When I went to Las Vegas with Sheetara for her Contender Series fight in 2018 I told everyone I wanted to be in the UFC through the Contender because it was so cool. When the opportunity came, I was freaking happy,” de Paula told ‘MMA Fighting‘.

Gloria de Paula is a 29-year-old Mixed Martial Artist hailing from Brazil. She previously competed in the UFC’s women’s strawweight division and holds a professional record of 6-6. De Paula’s career has been a modest one, to say the least. Although she fought in Dana White‘s promotion, she found it difficult to stay in the winning column. But to provide a clear picture, let’s take a look at her record.

De Paula’s MMA record

Gloria de Paula used to be a model before her MMA advent. But in some ways, she didn’t seem to like that profession, and at age 17, she would start her Muay Thai training. After witnessing Ronda Rousey, UFC Hall of Famer, knock out Bethe Correia at UFC 190, De Paula decided the MMA was what she wanted to do for life, and yes, she started strong with 3 wins in 4 fights, but then, she’d go through a bumpy ride.

In her last 5 fights, Gloria de Paula has lost four times and won just one, which was her only UFC win, excluding the DWCS fight. The last time the 29-year-old fought inside the cage was at Invicta FC on November 16, 2022, for the strawweight title, and took on Karolina Wojcik. The Brazilian lost the fight via decision and suffered her sixth career loss. ‘Glorinha’ earned her way into the UFC via Dana White’s contender series. However, she lost three out of her four bouts under the banner before they eventually released her in 2022.

Well, her partner’s in the limelight now for her fight against Macy Chiasson. It will be interesting to see if Mayra Bueno Silva can forge a better career than her partner and become a professional MMA champion before Gloria de Paula.
