RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — Undefeated Ketlen Vieira was hoping to fight Amanda Nunes for the UFC bantamweight title after improving to 4-0 in the UFC, but a potential Nunes vs. Cris Cyborg superfight will delay her title aspirations.
Matched up against former Invicta FC champion Tonya Evinger in the co-main event of UFC Sao Paulo on Sept. 22, Vieira admits she’s “a little upset” that she has to fight one more time before getting her shot at the 135-pound gold.
“Every fighter that joins the UFC dreams about getting into a title fight,” Vieira said during a media day in Brazil on Wednesday.
