About Ketlen Souza
Boxing power at strawweight
Ketlen Souza has built a career marked by finishing ability that is uncommon at strawweight. The Brazilian came to the UFC with experience as a regional champion and, after a difficult start, began to find more consistency.
Fighting style
Although she has grappling tools, her main identity is boxing. Souza has power in both hands, pressures with combinations and can quickly change the course of a fight when she forces her opponent to trade.
Recent form
After uneven results in her first appearances, she strung together wins over Bruna Brasil and Ariane Carnelossi, stopping the latter in the first round. Her punching power remains what sets her apart most at 115 pounds.
