Mayra Bueno Silva’s thoughts on winning
Mayra Bueno Silva ambitiously revealed that she wants the title shot next and then expressively opened up about her battle with depression and urged everyone to talk more about their problems with whoever they are comfortable with.
“I do what I said. Now I want the belt because I deserve it,” Bueno Silva said, as quoted by mmafighting.com. “Nobody finish like me. I deserve the belt. Hey Julianna Pena, let’s go. I deserve this, you deserve this.
The people deserve this. I finish my fights. I give a show for everybody “This belt is my belt. This belt is Amanda’s belt. This belt is a Brazilian belt. This is for Amanda Nunes". Bueno Silva on depression: “Recently I found myself in a huge, huge depression, I thought that life was not worth it anymore.
That being alive was no longer important. I found these people here and I found that girl right there. She’s been there all along. “This might happen to you. If you have any issues, find somebody, go and talk, reach out to somebody. The victory is always there, it’s not lost. Go for it, reach out and talk to someone”.
