Araujo crashed into the UFC with a trio of stoppages, including two under the Pancrase banner, and proceeded to knock Talita Bernardo in her promotional debut in 2019 up at bantamweight. “Vivi” dropped down to flyweight against Alexis Davis later that year, and came up with a decision win – the first of her career. Since then, Araujo has won two of four, with decisions over Montana De La Rosa and Roxanne Modafferi bookended by unanimous decision defeats to Jessica Eye and Katlyn Chookagian.
Louisiana’s Lee put an end to a three-fight skid in 2021 when she tapped out Antonina Shevchenko with a triangle armbar at UFC 262, thereby handing Shevchenko her first stoppage loss. Six months later, “KGB” pounded on Cynthia Calvillo to force her corner to intervene at the end of the second round, which placed Lee on her first win streak since 2019. Of note, the submission over Shevchenko ended a six-fight stretch of decisions, win or lose.
