But the second round was all Bueno Silva. In the clinch, she was able to get Holm around the throat and forced the tap to win the fight. 

The winner of the fight was thought by many to be the next in line for the vacant bantamweight title, or at the very least, in the discussion. 

Bueno Silva is undoubtedly in the discussion.
