Which flyweight contender will move one step closer to the belt?
With the women’s flyweight title being contested in the night’s main event, fellow Brazilian flyweight contenders [autotag]Juliana Velasquez[/autotag] and [autotag]Bruna Ellen[/autotag] both have the opportunity to score a timely victory and press their claims to be the next woman up to challenge for the strap in 2020.
At just 23, Ellen (5-2, 3-2 BMMA) will concede an age and experience advantage to the more seasoned – and still undefeated – Velasquez (9-0, 4-0 BMMA), but she will see victory over the surging contender as the perfect argument for her getting a title shot next.
Of course, that’s easier said than done, and she will be up against the toughest test of her career against 33-year-old Velasquez, who has yet to taste defeat in her professional career.
Will Velasquez take her undefeated career into double figures, or will Ellen score the biggest win of her career to position herself for a shot at the gold?
