And there are two other ranked matchups to get into, and the next one was in the strawweight division, where the number eight ranked Lupo Godinez was putting her name recognition and top 10 spot on the line against the unranked but surging Ketlen Souza, who was on a two-fight win streak, including a nasty knockout earlier in the year.
speaker_0HOST
And what we would see was Godinez getting her hand raised via unanimous decision, 29-28 across the board, bouncing back from her loss to Tatiana Suarez back in April, now finding herself in a position where she has been victorious in three of her last four bouts.
speaker_0HOST
And at 33 years old, she is still in her prime years.
speaker_0HOST
She has been one of, if not the most active strawweights on the roster since debuting back in April of 2021.
Big EHOST
But all three judges scored it 29-28, Godinez.
Big EHOST
You know, she gets back in the win column after losing to Tatiana Suarez in her last fight.
Big EHOST
You know, they both put up a good striking battle.
Big EHOST
They were both competitive on the feet.
Brendan SchaubHOST
Fatima.
Brendan SchaubHOST
We thought Tatiana Suarez was going to take things over.
Brendan SchaubHOST
Mackenzie Dern's a big deal.
Brendan SchaubHOST
Mackenzie Dern's a big deal.
Danny BrascoPANELIST
And I think that could be the difference in this fight.
Danny BrascoPANELIST
Lupi, like I said, she's faced Birna Jandiroba, Mackenzie Dern, Tatiana Suarez.
Danny BrascoPANELIST
High-level fighters, but she's lost to all of them.
Danny BrascoPANELIST
Every time she kind of steps up to the elite, she gets checked.
Luke ThomasHOST
Not the main- co-main event, but the feature fight of the card, taking on Ketlen Souza.
Luke ThomasHOST
She's coming off of that Tatiana Suarez loss, which I feel like kinda really set her back.
Luke ThomasHOST
She had a couple nice wins before that, including the Jessica Andrade win.
Luke ThomasHOST
But this one, man, the Suarez win, you know, Suarez is, is still a threat, but obviously not what she ever once was or could have been, and she still got the finish.
Jed MeshewHOST
So I think that that, in principle, is correct and probably will be true.
Jed MeshewHOST
I've real concerns about Lupe because it's not just that she lost to Tatiana.
Jed MeshewHOST
It's, as you mentioned, Tatiana was not in a good place, right? Like, she, we were as down as we have ever been on Tatiana Suarez at that point in time, and she got finished, and Lupita Godinez has never been finished before.
Jed MeshewHOST
So now it's just like, oof, what's, how are you gonna respond here? There's certainly a big opportunity to get right, but I think there's also a possibility of slipping all, of, you know, this, this being the start of a, a slide for her.
speaker_0HOST
In the featured bout, we will see the number eight ranked strawweight in the world and one of my favorite female fighters on the roster, Lupe Valdez, taking on Ketlen Souza.
speaker_0HOST
And Lupe essentially is going from a borderline title eliminator in April, where she took on and lost to Tatiana Suarez, to facing an unranked surging prospect in Souza.
speaker_0HOST
Since debuting back in April of 2021, Lupe Valdez has been one of the most active female fighters on the entire UFC lineup, with her fight at UFC Vegas 22 this upcoming weekend marking her sixth-16th UFC contest.
speaker_0HOST
And over the course of her first 15 UFC fights, she has fought some of the best strawweights on the planet, including Angela Hill, Tabatha Ricci, Virna Jandiroba, Mackenzie Dern, Jessica Andrade, and Tatiana Suarez.
speaker_0HOST
However, we did see something from Lupe in April that we hadn't seen from her before, and that was her being stopped when Tatiana Suarez would submit her via rear naked choke in round two.
speaker_0HOST
So now not only is Lupe Godinez behind the eight ball in the sense of trying to bounce back from a loss, which she has successfully done multiple times so far in her UFC run, now she's trying to get the nasty taste out of her mouth of being forced to tap.
speaker_0HOST
Because that fight between her and Suarez essentially came down to who is the better wrestler, because although Lupe is fantastic in that realm of mixed martial arts, no one comes close to Tatiana's wrestling skills in this strawweight division, and it showed there on that night at UFC 327.
speaker_0HOST
But in this fight for Lupe, Ketlen Souza is nowhere near the caliber of Tatiana Suarez, not only from a wrestling standpoint, but I would say just in the grand scheme of mixed martial arts.
Big EHOST
She won by decision.
Big EHOST
A lot of her fights end by decision, but she did get submitted by Tatiana Suarez in her last fight, and that was a rough one for her, but S- Suarez was looking good in that fight.
Big EHOST
And she had two, two wins in a row before that, Julia Palaste and Jessica Andrade.
Big EHOST
She lost to Mackenzie Dern, who's the, the current champion, and Virna Jandiroba, who fought for that vacant title as well.
Joey DHOST
Arnie Karmalusi and Bruna Brazil are not it, man.
Joey DHOST
And if you have your two wins back to back off that as compared to who Lupi Godinez has been fighting, yeah, no finishes on the feet, but we consider Tatiana Suarez to be a title challenger, like year in and year out regardless of the situation or maybe the hurt or the injury, uh, question there.
Joey DHOST
She's beat ex-champ Jessica Andrade before that.
Joey DHOST
She's been there with Cacara, sh- uh, the champion currently, Mackenzie Dern.
Jeff FoxHOST
[laughs]
Daniel VreelandHOST
Uh, and, and like, Lu- Lupe, you know, I- I know the, the two and three record in her last five really makes people, like, furrow their brow and stuff like that, but look, it's, it's Tatiana Suarez, it's Mackenzie Dern, and it's Virna Jandiroba.
Daniel VreelandHOST
So like-
Jeff FoxHOST
Yeah
Daniel VreelandHOST
And like loop loopy, you know, I know that the two and three record in her last five really makes people like furrow their brow and stuff like that.
Daniel VreelandHOST
But look, it's, it's Tatiana Suarez, it's McKenzie Dern and it's Veerna Jandidova.
Daniel VreelandHOST
So like,
Jeff FoxHOST
yeah,
