The UFC is set to kick off the new year in style, with an exciting bantamweight showdown that promises fireworks. Season 28 winner of The Ultimate Fighter, Macy Chiasson, is all set to lock horns with the formidable Ketlen Vieira at UFC's first Vegas card of 2024 on January 13.
While the UFC has yet to announce the headlining attraction for the event, the matchup between Chiasson and Vieira is enough to keep fans on the edge of their seats. Both fighters have impressive records and are eager to make their mark in the bantamweight division.
Macy Chiasson, with a professional record of 8-3, is no stranger to the UFC Octagon. With six wins in the promotion, she has shown her mettle against some tough competition. However, Chiasson's last outing didn't go as planned, as she fell to a TKO loss against Irene Aldana in September 2022. Now, she's determined to bounce back and re-establish herself as a contender. With notable victories over fighters like Norma Dumont and Marion Reneau, Chiasson is eager to regain her momentum.
On the other side of the cage, Ketlen Vieira boasts an 8-3 record in the UFC and an impressive 14-3 overall in her career. Vieira's recent decision win over Pannie Kianzad showcased her resilience and determination. She managed to rebound from a split decision loss to Raquel Pennington, which had temporarily halted her impressive winning streak against former UFC champions Miesha Tate and Holly Holm. Vieira's ability to adapt and learn from her losses makes her a dangerous opponent for anyone in the division.
As fight night approaches, the anticipation for this bantamweight clash is reaching a fever pitch. In the competitive world of MMA, Vieira and Chiasson have shown time and again that they have the heart and skills to take on any challenge. UFC's first card of 2024 is set to be a thrilling start to the year for fight fans around the world.
