Ketlen Viera vs. Marion Reneau targeted for UFC 250 in Sao Paulo

Ketlen Viera appears ready to try getting back to her winning ways.

A fight between the previously undefeated Viera and veteran Marion Reneau is targeted for UFC 250. A person with knowledge of the situation informed MMA Junkie of the impending booking on Tuesday but asked to remain anonymous since the UFC has yet to make an announcement.

UFC 250 is scheduled for May 9 at Ginásio do Ibirapuera in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and will stream on ESPN+ pay-per-view following prelims likely on ESPN and ESPN+/UFC Fight Pass.
