Bruna Brasil: Fighting Nerds product seeking momentum
Bruna Brasil enters this contest with a professional record of (11-5-1) and is a 32-year-old Brazilian who now trains out of the renowned Fighting Nerds camp. Known for her boxing-first approach, Brasil is at her best when she can operate at range, pick her shots, and mix in clinch control against the fence. Her career-defining win remains her composed decision victory over Molly McCann in London, where she outboxed and outworked the Brit over three rounds.
Since that performance, consistency has been an issue. Brasil was clearly outpaced by Cong Wang, absorbing heavy volume, before returning on Road to UFC with a low-output decision win over Shi Ming. While she remains physically strong and technically sound, particularly in close quarters, her recent fights have highlighted concerns around activity level and offensive urgency, especially against opponents who are willing to push the pace.
Ketlen Souza: Physical pressure fighter with proven finishing ability
Ketlen Souza comes into this bout holding a record of (15-6-0) and is a 30-year-old Brazilian known for her aggression and physicality. Souza is not a finesse striker, but she makes up for it with power, forward pressure, and a willingness to engage. Her standout UFC moment came with a dominant finish of Yazmin Jauregui, where she overwhelmed her opponent with strikes before securing the submission.
Souza’s last two outings resulted in split-decision losses to Piera Rodriguez and Angela Hill. While the Rodriguez fight saw her second-best, the Hill bout was highly competitive and widely viewed as razor-close. Even in defeat, Souza demonstrated her ability to land meaningful volume and dictate physical exchanges, reinforcing that she remains a dangerous presence at strawweight.
Bruna Brasil vs Ketlen Souza prediction
This fight is likely to be contested mostly on the feet, where the contrast in styles is clear. Brasil offers the cleaner technique and may look to slow the fight with clinch work and positional control, but her recent struggles with volume could leave her vulnerable on the scorecards.
Souza’s speed, power, and willingness to throw with intent should stand out in the judges’ eyes, particularly if she is able to consistently land the harder shots in open exchanges. Unless Brasil can significantly alter the tempo or dominate clinch sequences, Souza’s aggression should be the deciding factor.
Prediction: Ketlen Souza to win by decision
