Araujo lost to Tracy Cortez via unanimous decision (27-30, 27-30, 27-30) at UFC 317 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Araujo upset Karine Silva her last time out in November, but she struggled mightily again here. The Brazilian gave up one takedown to Cortez in each round and was controlled for 8:17 of the bout. She appeared hesitant to let her hands going after spending a good chunk of Round 1 on the mat, essentially eliminating any chance she had of winning a decision. Set to turn 39 years of age this coming November, Araujo has alternated losses and wins in her last four fights dating back to March 2023. She's nothing more than roster depth in the latter stages of her career.

Araujo is set to face Tracy Cortez in a flyweight bout at UFC 317 Las Vegas on June 28, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Araujo is coming off a victory over Karine Silva via unanimous decision at UFC 309 in New York City.

Pulls upset of Karine Silva
FlyweightUFC
November 16, 2024
Araujo defeated Karine Silva via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC 309 on Saturday in New York City.
ANALYSIS
Nobody watching this bout would think Araujo was the more talented competitor, but she showed up ready to fight and worked hard for 15 minutes -- sometimes that's all it takes. Viviane allowed Silva to have some big moments and had to survive a deep choke in Round 2, but she was consistently able to regain momentum, and that, aided by her exhausted opponent, was enough to win each of the final two rounds on all three scorecards. Araujo will be 38 years of age next week and entered with a 1-3 mark in her last four fights, so expecting her to go on some prolonged winning streak probably isn't realistic, but her roster spot is plenty secure after this upset victory.
Booked against Silva
FlyweightUFC
August 21, 2024
Araujo will take on Karine Silva in a flyweight bout at UFC 309 in New York City, Nolan King of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Araujo will be looking to bounce back from a February defeat to Natalia Silva where she lost via unanimous decision. It'll be easier said than done, however, against Silva, who remains undefeated in the UFC. What's more, before Silva's last fight, she had defeated every opponent in the first round. Considering Araujo has lost three of her last four fights, this is a massive bout for the flyweight.

ANALYSIS
It's unclear why Araujo has stepped down from the event, and that means Jasudavicius will take on a new opponent, with Fatima Kline being the chosen one on short notice. It's unclear when Araujo will be able to step back on the octagon.
Jasudavicius up next

April 8, 2024
Araujo is scheduled to compete against Jasmine Jasudavicius in a flyweight fight at the UFC's July 13 event, per Nolan King of MMAJunkie.com.
ANALYSIS
Araujo will defend her top-10 flyweight ranking against someone currently out of the top 15. Jasudavicius began 2024 by submitting Priscila Cachoiera. As for Araujo, she will look to prevent another losing streak after suffering a decision loss against Natalia Silva on Feb. 3.
