Ketlen Souza

Ketlen Souza, a 29-year-old Brazilian fighter competing in the strawweight division, holds a professional record of 16-6-0 with an orthodox stance and modest recent form at 3-3 over her last six outings. Standing 5'3" with a 63-inch reach, Souza operates as a volume striker with moderate output, landing 4.01 strikes per minute at 56% accuracy while absorbing 3.86 strikes per minute with 52% striking defense.

Her grappling credentials remain limited, averaging just 0.46 takedowns per 15 minutes at 13% accuracy and 0.2 submission attempts per 15 minutes, though she has demonstrated submission finishing ability when opportunities arise. Recent performances illustrate her inconsistency: she submitted Yazmin Jauregui in the first round at UFC Fight Night in September 2024, but subsequently lost split decisions to Piera Rodriguez and Angela Hill while rebounding with a unanimous decision victory over Bruna Brasil in February 2026.

Her cardio score of 46.9 suggests stamina concerns that may factor into decision-heavy fight outcomes. Souza's path forward depends on stabilizing her striking consistency and leveraging her submission threat more effectively in the competitive strawweight landscape.
