The UFC Brasil Twitter account announced this afternoon that Jessica Eye vs Viviane Araujo has been added to UFC 245 Dec. 14 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. This fight will be at Flyweight. Of course the last time we saw Jessica she was knocked out by a Valentina Shevchenko head kick. So now what? Well, she's still ranked so the UFC can use her as a gatekeeper. Jessica now lives in Las Vegas and trains at the UFC Performance Institute. Viviane is 32 years old from Brasilia, Brazil. Her record is 8-1 and she is 2-0 in the UFC. Viviane is a former Pancrase champ at Strawweight. She was dominant in her two UFC fights. Viviane beat the veteran Alexis Davis in her last fight. The idea is that Jessica is ranked higher than Alexis. And if Viviane can beat Jessica, maybe she's ready for a title shot. Liz Carmouche only got a title shot because the UFC didn't have anyone else other than Katlyn Chookagian who is probably worse than Liz. So they really need Viviane to step up. We'll see if she can do that.
