It was Ketlen Vieira and not Miesha Tate taking that next step at UFC Fight Night.

Vieira earned a decision victory over the former UFC champion in the main event. The card aired live on ESPN+ from the UFC Apex.

Tate, who returned earlier this year, was looking to move closer to another title shot. Instead, Vieira swept the scorecards to improve to 12-2 overall and 6-2 with the UFC.

In the co-main event, Sean Brady picked up a decision over former Ultimate Fighter winner Michael Chiesa. He also swept all three scorecards.

Talia Santos, Rani Yahya and Adrian Yanez were main card winners. Santos claimed a submission with Yahya and Yanez winning via decision.

On the prelims, Pat Sabatini, Rafa Garcia, Lupita Godinez, Cody Durden, Shayilan Nuerdanbieke and Luana Pinheiro were all winners.

Yanez and Davey Grant earned the “Fight of the Night” bonus with Santos scoring a “Performance of the Night” award.
