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.
