Juliana Miller vs. Ravena Oliveira
UFC Fight Night · August 8, 2026 · Meta Apex
OddsJuliana Miller -251·Ravena Oliveira +207(DraftKings)
Miller's path to victory is clearer and more repeatable: chain takedowns against a fighter who has been submitted twice in four losses, then hunt the back like a 10th Planet grappler should. Oliveira's only route is the same one Luana Santos used against Miller — land the big shot early before the grappling exchanges begin. Given Oliveira has landed under two significant strikes a minute in the UFC, banking on that punch feels thin. Miller by submission or grinding decision, with the caveat that her chin has failed her against power punchers before.
The Matchup
This is a desperation fight — Miller is 2-3 in the UFC and coming off a loss, while Oliveira is 0-3 and almost certainly one more defeat from release. The styles are cleanly opposed: Miller wants scrambles and submissions, Oliveira wants a firefight where her seven-finish power shows up. The stat that jumps out is Oliveira's 46 percent takedown defense against a Miller side that averages over two attempts a round, because Stephanie Luciano already showed the choke is there once Oliveira's back hits the mat. If Miller can't get it down, though, her porous striking defense has been cracked before.

Juliana Miller
“Killer”
Juliana Miller won The Ultimate Fighter Season 30 in 2022, stopping Brogan Walker with third-round elbows in the finale to earn her UFC contract. A 10th Planet San Diego product, her game is built on jiu-jitsu, scrambles, and submissions — three of her five career wins are taps. Life after TUF has been rocky: losses to Veronica Hardy, Luana Santos, and rising prospect Carli Judice sandwiched around a grinding decision win over Ivana Petrovic. At 30 and sitting at 2-3 in the UFC, the Killer likely needs a win here to keep her roster spot.

Ravena Oliveira
“Kenoudy”
Ravena Oliveira is a Brazilian finisher from Bahia who went 7-1-1 on the regional scene with every single win coming inside the distance — six knockouts and a submission. That violence hasn't translated to the UFC yet: she's 0-3 in the promotion, dropping a decision to Tainara Lisboa, getting choked out by Stephanie Luciano, and being stopped by Shanelle Dyer in March 2026. Her 30 percent striking accuracy tells the story of a power puncher who struggles against UFC-level defense. At 29, she's fighting for her job in the most literal sense.
