The 24-year-old Brazilian will look to move another step closer to relevance in the Ultimate Fighting Championship women’s flyweight division when she serves as a short-notice replacement for Tereza Bleda and faces Casey O’Neill as part of the UFC 305 undercard this Saturday at the RAC Arena in Perth, Australia. Neither of them can afford a hiccup at this stage of their development.
