“Thank you, my God, for the opportunity to start over! Very happy to be able to return to doing what I love most. Lord, there is another battle ahead, and I come to ask you to keep me from all harm! And that once again I can give Glory to your name inside that octagon. I trust you and I know that everything is in its time, as it is perfect and pleasant”, wrote the combatant.
Vieira's return puts the Brazilian back towards her dream of becoming champion of the division that is currently dominated by her compatriot Amanda nunes. The Amazon native is coming off a perfect series in her career and doesn't know the taste of defeat.
In the UFC, Ketlen has made four appearances so far. In her last fight, the fighter won a great victory over the experienced Zingano cat, which placed it in third place in the category ranking.
The duel against Aldana will be tough, as, in addition to facing an opponent who is fighting to be at the top of the division (she is currently in eighth place), the Brazilian will also share the octagon with an opponent who remained very active in the year 2019. After the UFC 245, Irene will have completed her fourth fight this year alone. Of the three clashes so far, the Mexican has emerged victorious in two.
Ketlen, who debuted in MMA in 2014, is 28 years old and has had 10 fights in his career. The Amazonian never lost.
Aldana, 31, will be in his 17th fight. The fighter won 11 and lost five.
The December event is set to be one of the most exciting of the year, as it features three title fights on its card, including one for the division belt between the two combatants. Amanda nunes will attempt his fifth defense in a duel against Germanie de Randamie.
