KETLEN VIEIRA

Hailing from Brazil, Ketlen Vieira developed her martial arts foundation through extensive training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and judo. Representing the Nova Uniao Manaus team, she built her reputation as an orthodox fighter who emphasizes grappling and defensive tactics. During her long tenure competing in the bantamweight division, she earned significant victories against established opponents such as Holly Holm and Miesha Tate. Her career path eventually led her to the Professional Fighters League following her departure from the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Entering this competition with a professional mark of sixteen wins and six losses, Vieira arrives following a busy stretch of recent activity. Her last performance resulted in a unanimous decision loss to Cris Cyborg in late August 2026. Prior to that setback, she secured a unanimous decision victory over Jacqueline Cavalcanti. She also suffered a split decision defeat against Norma Dumont in late 2025, which followed a unanimous decision win against Macy Chiasson and a loss to Kayla Harrison.
