Winner: Ketlen Vieira

Confidence Score: 65

Ketlen Vieira is the more proven, higher-ranked bantamweight with significant UFC experience and a well-rounded skill set. She has a strong judo base, solid grappling (4 submission wins), and high-level takedown defense (90%). While Cavalcanti is a rising, undefeated striker with solid reach advantages (70" arm, 41" leg) and elite striking defense (69%), she has yet to face a grappler of Vieira's caliber. Historically, fighters with Vieira's experience, top-5 ranking, and grappling credentials have a strong win rate over newer strikers, especially when they can neutralize striking with takedowns or clinch control. Vieira's ability to mix in takedowns (44% accuracy) and defend against them makes her a tough stylistic matchup for Cavalcanti, who has not shown offensive wrestling or submissions in the UFC. Vieira's age (34) is a slight concern, but her recent form and high-level opposition give her the edge. The pick is Vieira, but Cavalcanti's youth and striking acumen keep the confidence below 70.
