Match Predict – Holm to win

Considering that Holm hasn’t fought for 2 years, the Brazilian has a definite chance. However, Holly defends well against takedowns and is completely superior to her opponent in the stand-up.

Holm made her last appearance in the Octagon in 2020. However, now the former champion is back to fighting. At the moment Holly is already 40 years old.

Now Holm is ranked #2 and she is coming into this fight as the favourite. Holly throughout her career has been very competent in the distance.

She never goes for outright exchanges from the first seconds of the fight. Perhaps, the meeting with Ronda Rousey was an exception in this regard. However, 6 of her 14 fights were won by judges’ decisions.

The American often acts defensively and waits for her chance to counterattack. At the same time, Holm’s striking power is too good.

Ketlen is a representative of both BJJ and Judo. Statistically, she has 46% successful at parterre transfers and 52% blocked take-down attempts by her opponents.

It’s possible that the Brazilian will go into the fight because she is clearly losing in punching technique to Holm. Vieira is currently ranked #5 in the rankings.

Though, apart from the bout with Miesha Tate, she has never had a really serious opponent in her career. Still, Holly is pretty good defensively.

Another face that needs to be taken into account is that the Brazilian is 10 years younger than her opponent.

In her first four UFC fights, Ketlen was able to win and there was already talk of her getting a title opportunity. However, she had to go through some difficulties, stumbling a couple of times to build up her fighting spirit.

Safe Bets

The last three fights involving Vieira have reached the judges’ decisions. Hill has also had all three rounds in the octagon in the last two fights. You can bet on the event that the fight will go the distance with the odds of 1.40.
