Ketlen Vieira wanted her first UFC championship opportunity next, but that has to wait until after her fight against Raquel Pennington.
Guilherme Cruz and Mike Heck of MMA Fighting reported that Vieira and Pennington are expected to share the Octagon at an upcoming UFC Fight Night scheduled for Jan. 14, 2023, at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas. Pennington has since confirmed the fight on her social media.
“Now that the news is out! LFG,” wrote Pennington on Twitter. “Can’t wait to be back in that Octagon!”
Vieira has won three of her past four fights.
