One has fought the division's best and lost; the other has beaten everyone she was supposed to. The ratings prefer the second kind of record.
These two records tell opposite stories about the same division. Loopy Godinez has fifteen UFC fights and has shared the cage with Tatiana Suarez, Mackenzie Dern, Virna Jandiroba and Jessica Andrade — the top of women's strawweight, repeatedly. Ketlen Souza has seven, and has spent them beating the fighters put in front of her. The ratings favour Souza, and it is worth being precise about why. He…
Godinez (14-6) is 1-2 in her last three, submitted by Tatiana Suarez in the second round in April after a decision win over Jessica Andrade in August 2025 — the best win on either sheet here. Fifteen recorded UFC fights and a 7.42 volume score make her the more experienced and busier fighter; a 30.9 quality-of-victory reflects that her best results have come against opposition below the ones who have beaten her.
Souza (16-6) has won her last two, knocking out Ariane Carnelossi in 1:34 in June and outpointing Bruna Brasil in February. Before that she dropped decisions to Piera Rodriguez and Angela Hill. Seven recorded UFC fights, a 0.50 finish rate and a 41.0 quality-of-victory — she has been more efficient than Godinez without facing the same calibre.
Godinez's 7.42 volume score, the highest in the fight, against Souza's 5.21 pressure
Quality-of-victory reversed from what the names suggest: 41.0 to Souza, 30.9 to Godinez
Whether Souza's two recent decision losses mean she can be outworked over fifteen minutes
Godinez's grappling edge (3.64 to 3.20) against Souza's higher submission score (2.50)
Souza's 1:34 knockout of Carnelossi — the only real finishing threat on either side
Souza has seven recorded UFC fights against Godinez's fifteen; the composite gap may be sample-size rather than substance
Godinez's three defeats in her last five all came to fighters ranked above Souza, so her form line understates her level
