Holly Holm may have seen her title chances slip away for the final time after her loss to Mayra Bueno Silva in the UFC on ESPN 49 main event.

Former champion Holm (15-7 MMA, 8-7 UFC) suffered a second-round submission loss to Bueno Silva (11-2-1 MMA, 6-2-1 UFC) in Saturday’s women’s bantamweight headliner at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, and at 41, the result puts her future in mystery.

Holm has long said she would only continue competing if she truly thought a chance at gold was within her grasp. The defeat to Bueno Silva makes that a more difficult question to answer for herself than ever.

Should Holm retire? Should she make one more push to rebuild? Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on her future after UFC on ESPN 49.
