Sara McMann - Ketlen Vieira MMA prediction

McMann’s failed title bid against Ronda Rousey kicked off a 1-3 slump, capped by a submission loss to Amanda Nunes in Nashville. She’s since re-inserted herself into title contention with three straight wins, becoming the first person to ever submit Alexis Davis in the process. Five of her eleven pro wins have come by submission.
Just two years after her professional debut, “Fenômeno” joined the UFC and defeated Kelly Faszholz in her debut. This led to a clash with Ashlee Evans-Smith wherein Vieira, playing the underdog role, outstruck her veteran foe en route to a unanimous decision win. At 5’9”, she stands four inches taller than McMann.
McMann has really come into her own recently. She’s always had power, but she’s finally added some nuance to her striking and developed a dangerous submission game to complement her top-tier wrestling. While Vieira’s a capable striker, McMann’s firepower evens things up on the feet and she has the tools to dictate where the fight takes place.
Unless Vieira can rock McMann early, she’ll struggle to shut down her opponent’s takedown assault. McMann holds her own on the feet and eventually locks up a fight-ending choke.
