Viviane Araujo vs. Karine Silva Araujo UFC 309 preview

Araujo (12-6 MMA, 6-5 UFC) has struggled to maintain momentum during her UFC tenure as she has lost three of her last four fights, most recently a unanimous decision loss to Natalia Silva in February. … Silva (18-4 MMA, 4-0 UFC), on the other hand, is hoping to make it five straight UFC wins since earning her spot on the roster through Dana White’s Contender Series in October 2021.

Viviane Araujo vs. Karine Silva UFC 309 Expert Picks, Prediction

Although I would have put something like Jonathan Martinez vs. Marcus McGhee on the main card prior to this fight, I can understand that the UFC wants to build a new challenger in Silva.

Silva has won 5 straight since her successful Contender Series debut, avenging an early career loss to Maryna Moroz.

Araujo, on the other hand, has struggled to find consistency in the organization since scoring a stunning knockout victory in her UFC debut. Furthermore, Aaraujo has also been inconsistent with her pace and punctuality in the exchanges, which makes me like the Silva side here.

Hopefully it’s an exciting fight from both women, but I see this one going to the scorecards where I see Silva getting the nod by unanimous decision.
