Araujo (11-3) is a pressure-heavy grappler that is always in your face. The division's sixth-ranked women's flyweight has generally performed to expectations in the UFC, piecing together a 5-2 run.

"I'm pretty sure that whoever wins this fight is going to be in a really good position and a really good spot to be in the top of the division," Araujo said through an interpreter. "But to be honest, I see other opponents in a better spot, better situation than me. Like Taila Santos, Lauren Murphy, Jessica Andrade and Katlyn Chookagian. Maybe a rematch with her. So yeah, I don't think my next fight will be a title shot. "I know her boxing is very good and she moves pretty well. But I'm ready. I've been training a lot in boxing and wrestling as well. My wrestling is sharp and I'm ready to take her down and keep her on the ground."
