RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — Ketlen Vieira wants to be the female version of teammate Jose Aldo, and her coach believes she is the future of the bantamweight division.
Vieira finished Sara McMann in her most recent Octagon appearance in September, improving to 3-0 under the UFC banner, and is now set to take on Cat Zingano at UFC 222 in Las Vegas, Nev., on March 3.
Vieira originally announced a fight with Germaine de Randamie at UFC Belem on Feb. 3, but de Randamie recently told MMA Fighting she was never offered the fight.
