Karine Silva will truly be a force to be reckoned with when she takes on Viviane Araujo at the upcoming UFC 309 PPV event. In one of the most fascinating matchups at UFC Vegas 91, the Brazilian racked herself a ninth consecutive win thanks to a unanimous decision against Ariane Lipski.

Silva is currently ranked #11 in the women’s 125-pound ranking, raising her undefeated promotional record to 4-0 with wins against the likes of the aforementioned Ariane Lipski and other rising contenders including Maryna Moroz, Ketlen Souza, and Polyana Viana. Every great battle requires the support and input of a great coaching team and it is no different with the 30-year-old prospect. But who is Karine Silva’s coach, and what gym is she part of? Let’s find out!

Who is Karine Silva’s coach?

Karine Silva is a part of the Gile Ribeiro Team, an MMA gym founded by head coach Gile Ribeiro. Ribeiro is a 6-degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and a 5-degree black belt in Karate. It is right under the tutelage of coach Ribeiro that Silva has been thriving as a fighter and has mastered her game in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. In fact, she recently earned her black belt in the discipline back in July, under the head coach.

Apart from being the head coach in the gym, she also trains under the wing of coach Thiago Frasson. The duo can often be seen training together as evidenced by Silva’s Instagram posts, with one of them revealing that it was coach Frasson who was training Silva during her run on the Dana White’s Contender Series 45. But what about the flyweight’s gym and other teammates? Let’s dig in a little more!

All about Karine Silva’s gym and teammates

The Gile Ribeiro Team MMA gym is based in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. The gym is known for producing several talented fighters such as Diego Marlon (30-13-0), João Elias (17-4-1), and Rogério Bontorin (17-5-0). Apart from head coach Gile Ribeiro and Thiago Frasson, the gym features the aforementioned Diego Marlon as a coach, alongside coach Julio Migliorini.

In the facility, Silva often trains with her peers, such as Rogério Bontorin, who too was a part of the UFC and recently earned himself a split decision against Muhammad Mokaev at the ADXC 6. Apart from Bontorin, she is also joined by other fighters such as Rangel dos Santos and Yabna N’Tchalá.

So it surely looks like she would be getting the best training to earn her win against her rival Viviane Araujo. The odds surely seem to favor Silva, who is on a nine-fight win streak, especially since her opponent is coming off a third loss in her last four appearances in the octagon. What do you think?
