Mayra Bueno Silva has revealed that a partial eardrum rupture suffered early in the second round of her UFC 297 clash with Raquel Pennington severely hampered her performance. The Brazilian fighter said the blow knocked her balance off and left her struggling to read the exchanges, as Sherdog reports.
Silva intends to consult a specialist to determine the full extent of the injury. Looking ahead, she already has two names on her radar for a potential return bout - Irene Aldana and Miesha Tate - though the timeline will depend on her recovery and the UFC's scheduling plans.
