Ketlen Vieira

Ketlen Vieira, competing at 135 pounds with a 16-5 professional record, is an Orthodox-stance bantamweight known for her defensive wrestling and volume approach. The Brazilian fighter lands 2.71 strikes per minute with 40% accuracy while absorbing 3.73 strikes per minute and maintaining a solid 50% striking defense.

Vieira's grappling acumen is evident in her 1.31 takedown average per 15 minutes, though her 42% takedown accuracy reflects the difficulty of securing shots against elite competition; her 90% takedown defense is a notable strength. She averaged 0.5 submissions per 15 minutes, with a submission finish over Sara McMann in round two (September 2017) highlighting her submission threat.

Recent results show mixed outcomes: Vieira decisioned Macy Chiasson (May 2025) and Miesha Tate (November 2021), but fell to Kayla Harrison via unanimous decision (October 2024) and suffered a split decision loss to Norma Dumont (November 2025). These recent setbacks against ranked opposition suggest Vieira needs a decisive victory to re-establish herself as a contender in the bantamweight division.
