While Ketlen Vieira was already considered a top contender in the UFC women’s bantamweight division, her latest victory now has the Brazilian sitting at No. 2 in the division.
Vieira (13-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC) was victorious in the headlining bout of this past weekend’s UFC Fight Night 206 event in Las Vegas, outpointing former champ Holly Holm (14-6 MMA, 7-6 UFC) with a hotly debated decision result.
With the victory, Vieira moves up three spots, sliding past Holm, Irene Aldana and Raquel Pennington to settle into the No. 2 spot.
