Starting his career in 2011, Silva compiled a 10–3–2 record, mostly fighting for regional Brazilian promotions, with his most memorable fights being winning the World Fighting Federation Flyweight title and also a draw against fellow future UFC fighter, Casey Kenney at LFA 11.[2]
Ultimate Fighting Championship
Silva was scheduled to face Khalid Taha on September 7, 2019 at UFC 242.[3] However, on August 21, it was reported that the bout was moved to UFC 243.[4] He lost the fight via a submission in round three.[5] On December 23, 2019 Taha received one year USADA suspension for tested positive for furosemide (diuretics} in an in-competition urine sample provided on Oct. 6 2019 where Taha took a medicine for reducing inflammation and swelling in his eyes which contained furosemide. The fight was overturned to a no contest. [6] He will be eligible to compete again in October 6, 2020.[7]
A flyweight bout between Su Mudaerji and Bruno Gustavo da Silva was scheduled for UFC Fight Night: Lee vs. Oliveira on March 14, 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in mainland China, Mudaerji was forced to withdraw from the event as he would not travel to prepare for the fight and was replaced by promotional newcomer David Dvořák.[8] He lost the fight via unanimous decision. [9]
Bruno was scheduled to face Tagir Ulanbekov on September 12, 2020 at UFC Fight Night: Waterson vs. Hill.[10] However, due to travel restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the pairing was rescheduled and took place four weeks later at UFC Fight Night: Moraes vs. Sandhagen.[11] He lost the fight by unanimous decision.
