Ketlen Vieira Says Potential Bout With Germaine De Randamie Is Off

It was recently reported that a fight between Ketlen Vieira and former UFC Women’s Featherweight Champion Germaine De Randamie may be added to UFC Fight Night Belem.

However, the fight is no longer in the works because De Randamie apparently suffered another injury to her often injured hand.

Here is a translation of what Vieira posted, provided by Google Translate:

“Galera, I came to tell you that this fight was canceled, because my opponent has his hand injured to fight, but strange that until two days ago her hand was in good condition, he even posted a trained video, but God knows everything and I trust his plans, because his plans are better than mine. Thank you guys for the strength, and I continue in focus training and awaited.”

There is no word right now as to whether or not Vieira will remain on the card against a yet to be named opponent.
