Eubanks is still new to the sport. The athlete only had seven official fights in her career. However, the Brazilian showed respect for her opponent.

“Sijara is at a stage where it wants to grow at the event. So, she is very eager to do her best, to show her work. I saw that she has sharp jiu-jitsu. In striking, she is aggressive. So, it will be a cool fight. Great game to put on a good fight”, revealed the woman from Paraíba.

The last triumph of Bethe's career, aged 36, came when the Brazilian beat Jessica Eye in the judges' split decision. The confrontation marked one of the fights of UFC 203.
