Matchup Spotlight | Natalia Silva vs Rose Namajunas
With flyweight queen Valentina Shevchenko easily defending her throne last November against former strawweight champion Zhang Weili it begged the question of who would be the next one to face her? Brazil’s Natalia Silva was in the list of names for her next fight after her win against former champ Alexa Grasso last May in Montreal. But when opportunity comes knocking, sometimes you must take it.
That’s the case for Saturday’s flyweight matchup between Silva and former two-time strawweight champion Rose Namajunas. “Thug Rose” was originally scheduled to face Grasso on the first card of the Paramount+ era, but when Grasso withdrew from the fight, it was Silva’s number they called, and she answered. Penciled in for the second fight of the UFC 324 main card, it should be an intriguing flyweight matchup and could determine the next contender for “Bullet”.

UFC 324 live blog: Natalia Silva vs. Rose Namajunas
This is the UFC 324 live blog for Natalia Silva vs. Rose Namajunas, the main card flyweight bout Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Silva and Namajunas rank among the best fighters in the world, with Silva No. 7 and Namajunas No. 14 on MMA Fighting’s Pound-for-Pound list.
For Silva (19-5-1), this is her third straight fight against a former UFC champion after earning impressive decision wins over Alexa Grasso and Jessica Andrade. The Brazilian standout is yet to lose in the UFC, building a 7-0 octagon record, and is currently on a 13-fight win streak stretching back to 2017.
Namajunas (14-7), a two-time strawweight champion, has been put to the test after moving up to the 125-pound division. She is 3-2 in her new weight class, with wins over Miranda Maverick, Tracy Cortez, and Amanda Ribas, and losses to top contenders Erin Blanchfield and Manon Fiorot. “Thug Rose” aims to derail the Silva hype train and book a fight with fellow future UFC Hall of Famer Valentina Shevchenko.
