• Record: 16-6
• Next fight: Ketlen Vieira on July 22

Sweden’s Pannie Kianzad is potentially one win away from a title shot.

If ”Banzai” beats Ketlen Vieira in London on July 22, and especially if she does so in dominant fashion, she might very well be fighting for the title next.

The Swedish 31-year-old is 5-4 in the UFC and comes from a win against fellow Swede Lina Länsberg in April 2022.
