For the UFC, Holly Holm and Ketlen Vieira will face each other and the American doesn’t want to think about anything other than the fight against the Brazilian this Saturday, 21
Holm and Ketlen Vieira will face each other in UFC this Saturday, 21st, and promise to make one of the most disputed fights in the category. Despite the fight promising a lot of striking, the big question is still Julianna Pena and Amanda Nunes. Both have yet to face each other for the belt again and Holly appears on the outside as one of the candidates to enter this dispute.
In an interview for “Combate”, the fighter made a point of saying that she thinks about the title of the category, but does not dream of a fight against Amanda Nunes or Julianna Penã. According to the American, the focus now is the confrontation against Ketlen Vieira, which promises to be one of the most difficult in Holm’s career. Holly even acknowledged that she might have problems during the fight that could rank one of the two for the title fight.

“I felt that we would face each other at some point, so I wasn’t surprised. She’s the toughest opponent I’d face in a fight that wasn’t worth the belt, so I figured I’d fight her. When they called me offering her name, I saw that the time had come for us to face each other. Ketlen fights hard, hard. She is very strong in the clinch, she has good takedowns and great displacements.“, he stated.
It also exerts a lot of pressure when on top of the floor. She has many weapons, she is complete. But I will be better in each of these aspects, but I definitely need to impose my game and be attentive to everything. She seems to be comfortable even with her back on the ground, taking a fall, in the clinch or with space. I need to be on, and I will be“, followed.
Holm followed his analysis of Amanda Nunes and highlighted that he will do everything to win: “I think this is a fight for a place in the belt dispute. But it’s almost a draw. Because if Amanda Nunes beats Julianna Peña, will there be a tiebreaker? That’s why I have to worry about what’s ahead, which is to win my fight and move on. I want to have my hand up, and whatever it takes to do that, I’ll do it“.
Still on the fight against Ketlen Vieira in the UFC, Holm used Julianna Peña and Amanda Nunes as an example for this Saturday’s confrontation, 21: “See the latest title shot. A lot of people thought Amanda Nunes would end the fight standing, or Julianna Peña would win if she took the fight to the ground, but she started to dominate the fight with her jabs. This surprised a lot of people. I didn’t imagine it would be like it was, but I wasn’t impressed”.
“I’m never really surprised, because at this level, anyone is capable of doing anything. When it happened, it was outside of what I had anticipated, but it didn’t come as a shock to me. It wasn’t something I didn’t think could happen. You can’t look at everything a fighter has done before and imagine that this will be the way to win. You need to know how to adapt as the fight goes on, and I’ll be ready. I will know how to adapt to whatever happens“, finished
