Jacqueline Cavalcanti favored over Ketlen Vieira lean UFC Fight Night: Allen vs Costa · May 10, 2026
strikinggood grapplingdecent

Picked to win more often than not, while the analyst still credits the opponent a real, live path to victory.

Solid striker with good volume and good combinations, with the kick game -- especially a teep-into-cross combo -- seen as crucial to this specific matchup for controlling range; good leg kicks too. Good lateral movement that keeps her hard to track down, and faints a lot to set up her strikes. A very good, complete striker able to frustrate an opponent into rushing and then counter them, mixing teeps and combinations effectively; not one-shot power, but skilled everywhere else. Decent grappling with decent top pressure and good ground and pound, though largely unproven since little grappling has been seen from her, especially at the UFC level.
