Can Viviane Araujo's fighting spirit overcome her recent losses and shine at Madison Square Garden?

A generational clash between Flyweight contenders has been scheduled for November 16. Viviane Araujo (12–6) will square off against Karine Silva (18–4) on the UFC 309 main card. Araujo, 37, is coming off a third loss in her last four appearances in the octagon when she lost a unanimous decision against Natália Silva at UFC Vegas 85. The Brazilian has not finished a fight since her UFC debut in 2019; however, she surely would be looking forward to changing this statistic in this upcoming bout.

Especially when the fight is going to be in an arena as iconic as the Madison Square Garden. Araujo would surely be looking forward to making her friends, family, and fans in attendance proud. But do you know about her significant other who would be there to cheer for the Brazilian fight? Well, if you don’t, let’s find out!

Her fans surely look forward to seeing Araujo smile, as she spent most of her childhood facing real traumatizing experiences with her family. According to the UFC fighter, she earlier took to soccer to spend time away from her home, where her father, who was an alcoholic, often abused her mother. As a result, she soon stopped playing the sport and took to mixed martial arts. And now, she uses the Octagon to spread awareness and offer support to victims of the traumatizing life experience.

She once said, “The UFC is such a gigantic and powerful platform. A word from a woman can change your life and self-esteem. We have so many people going through things like that that I felt the need to talk about it. We’re suffering with domestic violence and violence against women. I lived that reality since I was a kid. I’ve suffered with that, and I managed to turn the table with sports. My mom is a warrior.” Araujo later revealed in the same interview that she is very close to her mother, who is her No. 1 fan. Let’s see if the Brazilian has any kids or not.
