Flyweights (up to 56,7kg.) Priscila Pedrita e Ariane Lipski receberam mais uma chance de buscar uma redenção desde que assinaram seu contrato profissional no UFC. Sem vencer pelo Ultimate, as brasileiras trocarão forças no UFC Sao Paulo, on November 16, and will try to prove to the board that they are capable of integrating the company's group of fighters. The news was released by 'Combate'.

A curitibana Ariane Lipski estreou pelo UFC em janeiro deste ano. Antes de assinar contrato com o Ultimate, Lipski vinha em uma sequência de nove vitórias consecutivas, mas, após subir no octógono, a atleta amargou duas vitórias consecutivas. Uma, para Joanne calderwood and, more recently to Molly McCann. In total, the 25-year-old fighter has had 2013 fights since her debut in mixed martial arts in 16, with 11 triumphs and five setbacks.
Pedrita is also going through a complicated moment in her career. Even though she enjoys a certain prestige with the public, for showing a lot of determination in her fights and not giving up even in difficult fight situations, the athlete has had three consecutive defeats since she made a commitment to Ultimate. The fighter, however, upon her debut, in February 2018, had nothing more, nothing less than the flyweight champion, Valentina Shevchenko. In an extremely unequal contest, Priscila lost her unbeaten record and was defeated by submission, but was greatly applauded by the public, as she did not give up in the fight.
In her other two commitments, both this year, the athlete was also unable to achieve her first victory within the organization and ended up finding herself in a complicated situation. The Rio native needs a victory to avoid the risk of being fired from the company.
At 30 years old, Pedrita has eight fights and three defeats in his professional record.
