The fight of women in the flyweight division is crucial for both of their participants. Brazilians Viviane Araujo and Karine Silva occupy 9th and 11th places in the category ranking, respectively. Araujo has previously made an attempt to improve its position on the list by facing top-ranked opponents and revealed that she was not yet ready for a championship belt. Difficult victories were interspersed with defeats. In the last fight, she lost by a judicial decision.
Silva has a different strategy for its promotion. She is taking her time, gaining the necessary experience for meetings with MMA masters. Silva has won 9 in a row. She has plenty of time. She turned 30 years old.
Araujo is proficient in the techniques of the rare Brazilian martial art Luta Livre, which involves conducting ground fighting techniques. She has often successfully utilized the acquired skills. For Silva, at her current stage of her sports career, such a strong opponent is just necessary.
