The Ultimate Fighting Championship women’s flyweight division is replete with talent. Fighters from the top tier to the bottom rung are clashing fiercely to squeeze past stiff competition. In that context, Brazilian standouts Ariane Lipsli and Karine Silva, who occupy rankings in the divisional landscape, will engage in combat in a UFC on ESPN 55 showcase this Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
Lipski has demonstrated sparks of brilliance throughout her UFC tenure but has grappled with inconsistency, particularly when she lost three fights in four outings between November 2020 and August 2022.
