Report: Holly Holm vs. Ketlen Vieira targeted for UFC main event in May

A women’s bantamweight matchup that could potentially double as a #1 contender fight is in the works for May.

Ariel Helwani reports that former UFC champion Holly Holm and Brazilian contender Ketlen Vieira are lined up for a five-round fight that would headline a Fight Night card on May 21st. No location or venue has been linked to this show as of yet.

Holm (14-5) is on a two-fight winning streak, having bested Raquel Pennington for a second time in as many matchups, followed by a terrific display against Irene Aldana in their UFC Fight Island 4 main event in October 2020.
