Game Preview
Fight Preview
Saturday night’s co-main event of UFC Vegas 81 will feature a women’s flyweight bout between top contenders Jennifer Maia and Viviane Araujo, which should provide for an intriguing fight to watch. Each fighter brings distinct strengths and weaknesses into this contest making this matchup even more intriguing to follow.
Maia is an accomplished striker who prefers to dominate on her feet, typically acting as the aggressor. She averages 4 significant strikes per minute and boasts strong takedown defense; although she has lost to some high-level wrestlers earlier on.
Araujo is an all-around fighter who has distinguished herself during her time with the organization. She boasts an effective wrestling game and frequently secures submissions while being an effective finisher, scoring 3 of her 6 victories by way of knockout or TKO.
However, Araujo has struggled to string together consistent victories and is currently on a two-fight losing streak against some of the top women’s flyweight talent like current champion Alexa Grasso and former title challenger Valentina Shevchenko.
Araujo has an effective defensive system which keeps her opponents at bay from engaging in high-paced pocket boxing bouts, but she often finds it hard to counter punchers who keep pace. Her clinch game is very strong, on average she lands 2 takedowns per fight, although she doesn’t tend to score finishes from the floor.
In her last two fights, Araujo has had to persevere against stronger opponents who have taken her down to the ground. Although Araujo is an effective defensive fighter, she could try entering into grappling battles against someone like Maia.
Maia should dominate on the feet due to her superior striking and submission game; however, Araujo has aspects of her game which enable her to dominate moments on the feet and capitalize on any mistakes by her opponent. This fight could last the distance as both fighters are capable of finding ways to a victory
