This would be Taila's second official fight since the Santa Catarina native signed her professional contract with the UFC. In her debut, the fighter was defeated in a clash against Mara Romero Borella in February this year. Since then, the Brazilian has been hoping to win her first victory for the company. Ariane, in turn, dreams of her first performance in Ultimate.
The promising athlete, who has 12 victories in 13 fights, would perform in front of the Uruguayan public for the first time. At just 26 years old, the prudentina is well known for her knockout power and the aggressiveness with which she carries out her fights.
The main fight of UFC Uruguay will be a fight for the flyweight belt (up to 56,7kg) between Valentina Shevchenko (champion) against the former challenger for the bantamweight title (up to 61,2kg.) Liz Carmouche. The fight will represent a rematch between the champion and the North American. In 2010, Carmouche defeated Shevchenko via technical knockout (forfeit).
