This is a contrast in styles in a bantamweight battle between two of the Top 15 women's fighters. Ketlen Vieira is favored but is coming off a loss to Irene Aldana in December, a first-round knockout. She's 4-1 in the UFC without any knockouts. Three of those decision wins weren't far from going either way, so Vieira has not been dominant of late despite a 10-1 career record. She's only thrown more strikes than her opponent in UFC action one time. She's a grappler, with a poor significant strikes rate and a punching accuracy of 35%. Sijara Eubanks has more UFC experience (six bouts) and has won two straight, topping Sarah Moras and Julia Avila this year. The win over Avila was two weeks ago. Eubanks is very strong defensively with a 61% takedown 'D' and 60% significant strikes 'D.' That will be a plus against Vieira, who is going to try and take this to the ground. Eubanks is also an aggressive puncher averaging 4.71 strikes with 42% accuracy. She went the distance against Avila, recording 19 more strikes in a unanimous decision win, and she matches up well in this one. Play Sijara Eubanks to win the fight.
