Natalia Silva beat former flyweight champion Alexa Grasso just hours before Valentina Shevchenko defended the 125-pound belt against Manon Fiorot at UFC 315, and hopes to be next in line for the title.

Silva extended her overall winning streak to 13 with her seventh victory inside the octagon, and feels she’s done enough to secure a championship chance.

“My focus is on the title,” Silva said post-fight, before Shevchenko beat Fiorot in Montreal.
