Hunsucker opened the UFC 278 pay-per-view draw, suffering a first-round technical loss to Tyson Pedro on Aug. 20 in Salt Lake City. The former Dana White’s Contender Series competitor went 0-3 in the Octagon, with all of his defeats coming inside a round.
Wu, meanwhile, followed Hunsucker on the UFC 278 card, as she fell to Lucie Pudilova via second-round TKO. The 28-year-old Chinese fighter lost four straight in UFC competition and was 1-5 in the promotion overall.
Finally, the 39-year-old Silva returned to action for the first time in more than a year at UFC Fight Night 208, where he dropped a unanimous verdict to Nicolas Dalby in London on July 23. That was the third consecutive loss for the Brazilian known as “Hannibal.”
