Kayla Harrison vs. Ketlen Vieira
VIEIRA VS HARRISON

Ketlen is coming back after year layoff. She was supposed to fight back in January but pulled out and there is no better way to be welcomed back to the UFC by being tossed on your head by a Judo Olympian. Kayla should dominate here and is the pick. Ketlen is good but relies on size and strength, she will under no circumstances be stronger than Kayla or be able to prevent the takedowns. Kayla is the pick and maybe we get lucky with a 2.5 round line that we can get plus money on the under.

Kayla Harrison

Kayla Harrison is the most accomplished American Judoka of all time. Think Ronda Rousey but instead of a Bronze Medal, she has an olympic gold medal and not just 1, she is a 2 time olympic gold medalist and multime time world champion. She has been at American Top Team for years which has only added tools her her aresonal. She is absolutely tremendous and rock solid. Her striking isn't great but she can be powerful and really just uses it to setup takedowns. She is coming off the destruction of Holly Holm at UFC 300

Ketlen Vieira

Ketlen Viera is a powerful come forward striker with solid takedowns and top work. She marches forward, throws heavy, looks to tie up and then will trip or uchi mada from there. On top she keeps control, pressures and pounds away. She's not incredibly fast, shes not incredibly athletic but she is big, strong and fundemenatlly sound. She is coming off the decision win over Pannie Kanziad where she threw very few strikes but controlled the wrestling.
