The UFC has reportedly added a key women’s bantamweight bout between Ketlen Vieira and Jacqueline Cavalcanti to its May 16 Las Vegas card, according to Brazilian outlet AG Fight as relayed by Sports Illustrated. The matchup pits two ranked contenders against each other with potential title implications in a division currently seeking fresh challengers. Vieira has long hovered near the top of the rankings, while Cavalcanti is trying to force her way into the elite. The event is expected to take place at the UFC Apex or a similar Las Vegas venue. A strong performance from either fighter could propel the winner directly into the title picture later in 2026.
