Fighter’s Contract Not Renewed After UFC 316 Loss

An
Ultimate Fighting Championship competitor’s journey in the
Octagon has concluded after a loss at
UFC 316.

Ariane
Lipski da Silva (17-11) faced Cong Wang at
UFC 316 in New Jersey last weekend. The Brazilian missed the
flyweight limit by a whopping 6 pounds and had to sacrifice 30% of
her purse. Despite the weight advantage, Silva suffered a lopsided
unanimous decision loss against the Chinese flyweight prospect.

After her third consecutive loss, Silva’s contract was reportedly
not renewed by the UFC. This was first reported by FullContactMTWF
on social media and subsequently confirmed by Ag.Fight.

Silva came to the UFC in 2019 as a former
Konfrontacja Sztuk Walki flyweight champ with two title
defenses. However, Silva’s regional success never really translated
into the UFC as she went back and forth between wins and
losses.
