This may look exactly like Ketlen's last fight. Jacqueline will be a little faster so win the striking exchanges and then Ketlen will look to grapple. Now i personally think Ketlen won her last fight despite me betting on Norma, but this is Vegas and as we know, Vegas does not care about takedowns and control. So if Jacqueline is landing clean on the feet and pressuring forward, she will take the decision here. I trust the speed and the footwork so Jacqueline is the pick. Over 2.5 is potentially the safest spot on this card.
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, she's not incredibly athletic but she is big, strong and fundamentally sound. She is coming off the controversial decision loss to Norma Dumont where she was too slow in the striking, but controlled with takedowns.
Jacqueline Cavalcanti
Jacqueline Calvacante is a long striker who uses footwork and faints to manage range. She does a good job working your legs early to slow you down and then working up to the head. She keeps her striking technical and when she finds a rhythm she works forward, pressures and will even look for the occasional takedown. When she is moving forward she can be effective, but she does not back up well. She is very big for the weight class and has clean 1-2s. She is coming off the one sided win over Mayra Bueno Silva where she more than doubled the strikes
