Former UFC women’s featherweight champion Germaine de Randamie will be returning to the Octagon soon.

According to a report by Combate, she will take on undefeated prospect Ketlen Vieira in a bantamweight bout at UFC Fight Night 125.

If you recall, the UFC stripped de Randamie of her featherweight title in June due to her unwillingness to defend her title against Cris ‘Cyborg’ Justino.

Invicta featherweight champion Megan Anderson was then tasked to fight Justino for the UFC’s vacant featherweight belt at UFC 214, but Anderson pulled out of the fight due to personal reasons.

This has led to Tonya Evinger stepping in and fighting Justino at UFC 214. Justino picked up the win by TKO.

De Randamie is on a three fight winning streak that includes TKO wins over Larissa Pacheco and Anna Elmose and a unanimous decision win over former bantamweight champion Holly Holm in February.

She was supposed to fight Marion Reneau at UFC Fight Night 115 in September but pulled out due to injury.

On the flip side, Vieira will look to make it four in a row when she meets the former UFC champion.

She holds decision wins over the likes of Kelly Faszholz, Ashlee Evans-Smith. Vieira is coming off a submission win over Sara McMann in September.

UFC Fight Night 125 is slated to take place in Belem, Brazil on February 3rd. As of this writing, the UFC has yet to announce this bout or the main event of the show.

The main card will air on FOX Sports 1 while the preliminary card will be split broadcasted on FOX Sports 1  and the promotion’s streaming service, UFC Fight Pass.

UFC FIGHT NIGHT 215 – Notable Bouts

Sara McMann vs. Ketlen Vieira McMann’s recent form has been pretty flawless, so much so that her losses to Ronda Rousey, Miesha Tate, and Amanda Nunes seems like they happened an eternity ago.

Sara McMann vs. Ketlen Vieira
McMann’s recent form has been pretty flawless, so much so that her losses to Ronda Rousey, Miesha Tate, and Amanda Nunes seems like they happened an eternity ago. McMann looks confident and strong, and it is certainly going to take some serious talent and skills to put an end to her momentum. Time, however, is not on McMann’s side, she is 36 years old and so she certainly does not have too many years of competitive fighting ahead of her to look forward to. Whatever she wants to be and prove, this is her time now to do it at UFC 215.
On the other side of the octagon is going to be Ketle Vieira. Vieira is not exactly as well known and is considerably inexperienced in the UFC. She was promoted from the Brazilian MMA and her current record is an impressive 8 – 0.
We think Vieira is going to taste defeat for the first time in the UFC at the hands of McMann.
Neil Magny vs. Rafael Dos Anjos
Rafael Dos Anjos has moved weight divisions from lightweight to welterweight and his welterweight debut went pretty the way he would have hoped for. It was crucial that he get a win in the debut and he did. Anjos is considerably a more unknown fighter amongst the fans and he has never really gotten the spot light much. Now on UFC fight night 215, he is going to come up against Neil Magny who certainly is no push over.
Magny is solid all round, but we would still put our money on Rafeal Dos Anjos for this one, his experience should be enough to carry him through.
Jeremy Stephens vs. Gilbert Melendez
Gilbert Melendezs’ last three outings in the lightweight division have all been losses and he is now making a move to the featherweight division to hopefully churn out some victories there. Melendez will be looking to getting back to winning ways when he comes up against Wilson Reis.
Reis, you can rest assured, is not going to make it easy for Stephens. The Former EliteXC champion has been consistent so far and will make Melendez work for it!
