Footing under Viviane Araujo has grown unsteady ahead of her latest assignment in the Ultimate Fighting Championship women’s flyweight division.
The Cerrado MMA rep will look to defend her spot in the Top 10 rankings at 125 pounds when she takes on Karine Silva in a featured UFC 309 attraction this Saturday at Madison Square Garden in New York. A promotional mainstay for the better part of five years, Araujo enters the Octagon having lost three of her past four bouts. A week away from her 38th birthday, her UFC record sits at 6-5 across 11 appearances.
