This is the UFC Vegas 19 live blog for Ketlen Vieira vs. Yana Kunitskaya, the bantamweight co-headliner for Saturday’s fight card at UFC APEX in Las Vegas. Vieira and Kunitskaya remain on the hunt for a title shot after setbacks in key fights. Vieira is five months removed from a decision over Sijara Eubanks, which put her back in the win column after she was knocked out by Alexa Grasso in a fight that might have earned her a shot at the belt.
