Vieira vs Pennington Prediction
Both women have had their fair share of success heading into this event. Ketlen Vieira is 3-1 in her last four fights, coming off a split-decision win over Holly Holm in her last fight back in May 2022. On the other hand, Raquel Pennington has rattled off four wins in a row, winning by unanimous decision in her latest fight against Aspen Ladd at UFC 273.
One reason why I like Vieira in this fight is that she was able to do something that Pennington couldn't accomplish in two tries: defeat Holm. Vieira also has the advantage when it comes to both takedown accuracy (40%) and defense (92%), which will likely frustrate Pennington if she attempts to win this one on the ground.
With Vieira also holding the height, reach and youth advantages, "Fenômeno" is my pick to win at UFC Vegas 67.
Vieira vs Pennington Best Bets
Unfortunately the moneyline is the only betting option at the moment, making a Vieira outright win at -111 odds the best bet for now. Make sure to check back on FanDuel Sportsbook leading up to UFC Vegas 67 for more playable options.
