Holly Holm Form
Holly Holm has won her last couple of fights but has not fought in the Octagon since October 2020.
Holm hit he summit in the women’s bantamweight division when she knocked out Ronda Rousey in November 2015.
Her form nose-dived after that though, starting with the loss of her title to Miesha Tate a few months later.
Holm dominated the contest but could not get the finish and was tapped out with 90 seconds to go.
That sparked a run of three straight defeats that included decision losses to Valentina Shevchenko and Germaine de Randamie.
Holm stopped the rot by knocking out Bethe Correia, but was then bested over five rounds by Cris Cyborg.
Again she rebounded, this time with a decision win over Megan Anderson, but she was then brutally dispatched inside a round by Amanda Nunes.
‘The Preacher’s Daughter’ has not lost since that July 2019 fight though, winning each of her last two outings.
Holm fought twice in 2020, earning decision wins over Raquel Pennington and Irene Aldana.
That took her professional MMA record to 14-5 with eight wins coming by knockout and none by submission.
Ketlen Vieira Form
Ketlen Vieira is looking to win back-to-back fights inside the Octagon for the first time since 2018.
Vieira made a promising start to life in the UFC when she embarked on a four-fight wins streak after signing.
She claimed back-to-back decision wins over Kelly Faszholz and Ashlee Evans-Smith before submitting Sara McMann.
Vieira then followed that up with a split decision win over another pioneer of women’s MMA, Cat Zingano.
Her form has been a rollercoaster since that victory over Zingano though.
She suffered her first career defeat in her next outing as she was knocked out by Irene Aldana in the first round.
Vieira responded to that setback with a decision win over Sijara Eubanks in her sole outing of 2020.
She started 2021 with a decision defeat to Yana Kunitskaya, but her response was to register the biggest win of her career to date.
Vieira bested former champion Miesha Tate over five rounds last November in a deserved unanimous decision win.
That victory took her record to 12-2 with two wins coming by knockout and four by submission.
