Slated to face Kunitskaya in August
Vieira (10-1-0) is scheduled to face Yana Kunitskaya (12-5-0, 1 NC) in a bantamweight matchup Aug. 1 at a yet-to-be-determined location, Farah Hannoun of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
After winning her first 10 professional MMA fights -- including her first four with the UFC -- Vieira took a loss in her last trip to the Octagon at UFC 245 in Las Vegas in December, when Irene Aldana knocked her out in the first round. Vieira had initially planned to return to action in May against Marlon Reneau, but work visa issues forced the Brazilian fighter to pull out of the event. The 28-year-old apparently expects to have her necessary paperwork in order for the August event, wherever it's ultimately held.

Taking on Reneau in Sao Paulo
Vieira (10-1-0) is scheduled to take on Marion Reneau (9-5-1) in a bantamweight fight May 9 at UFC 250 in Sao Paulo, John Morgan of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Vieira saw a potential shot at the women's bantamweight title fall by the wayside after she suffered the first loss of her professional career at UFC 245, when she was knocked out by Irene Aldana. She'll look to bounce back from the disappointing showing with a matchup in her home country of Brazil against the 42-year-old Reneau, who has dropped her last two fights.
