Background
Born in Uberlandia, Silva has lived and trained in gyms in Campinas and São Paulo since January 2015, a couple months before she made her professional debut.[8]
Mixed martial arts career
Early career
Starting her career in 2016, Silva only needed 3 fights on the regional Brazilian scene, winning all three and the Batalha MMA Bantamweight title in the process, to be invited onto Dana White's Contender Series Brazil 1. Making quick work of Mayana Souza dos Santos via ninja choke in the first round, she earned a contract to the UFC.[8]
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Silva made her debut on September 22, 2018, facing Gillian Robertson at UFC Fight Night: Santos vs. Anders.[9] She won the fight via a submission in round one.[10]

Silva faced Montana De La Rosa on February 27, 2021, at UFC Fight Night 186.[16] Following a point deduction for Bueno Silva for illegally grabbing the fence, the fight ended in a majority draw.[17]
Replacing injured Ji Yeon Kim, Silva was expected to face Poliana Botelho on May 1, 2021, at UFC on ESPN 23.[18] Bueno suffered a back injury in late March and she was pulled from the bout.[19]
Silva was scheduled to face Manon Fiorot on September 25, 2021, at UFC 266.[20] The bout was postponed to UFC Fight Night 195 due to COVID-19 protocols.[21] Silva lost the fight via unanimous decision.[22]

Bueno Silva claimed that the substance comes from an ADHD medication she had been taking for the past three years.[35] Her bout with Holm was later overturned to a No Contest and she was suspended, being eligible to fight again on November 29, 2023.[36]
Silva faced Raquel Pennington on January 20, 2024, at UFC 297 for the vacant UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship.[37] She lost the fight via unanimous decision.[38]
