By The Numbers: UFC Fight Night 206

Tristen CritchfieldMay 22, 2022

Ketlen Vieira just added another victory over a former Ultimate Fighting Championship champion to her résumé.

Vieira earned a competitive split-decision triumph against Holly Holm in the UFC Fight Night 206 headliner at the UFC Apex on Saturday night, further cementing her case as a possible title contender at 135 pounds. The victory comes on the heels of a win against Miesha Tate this past November, and with wins in three of her last four Octagon appearances, “Fenomeno” will undoubtedly have her eye on the Julianna Pena-Amanda Nunes rematch this July.
