Professional Fighters League continues to bolster the talent pool in its women’s divisons.

Former UFC bantamweight talent Ketlen Vieira announced on Tuesday that she has signed with the PFL. A debut date has yet to be determined, but it’s likely that Vieira will compete at featherweight since the promotion doesn’t currently have a 135-pound division.

“Today marks the beginning of a new chapter in my life, and I can only thank God for pouring countless blessings into it!” Vieira wrote on Instagram. “Every day, I experience the truth of the verse that says: “All things work together for the good of those who love God.”

Vieira went 10-5 in the Octagon before being released from the UFC earlier this year. “Fenomeno” last appeared at UFC Fight Night 276, where she ended the eight-fight winning streak of surging contender Jacqueline Cavalcanti. Vieira owns other notable victories against the likes of Holly Holm, Miesha Tate, Macy Chiasson, Cat Zingano and Sara McMann.
