In the night’s very first fight, Macedo (6-3-1 MMA, 1-3 UFC) was expected to be in trouble if her matchup with world-champion grappler Polyana Viana (10-4 MMA, 1-3 UFC). Macedo set up a beautiful armbar, earning the fastest submission in women’s flyweight history.
On paper, the fight between Luque (17-6-1 MMA, 10-2 UFC) and Perry (13-5 MMA, 7-5 UFC) landed big shots along the way, though it was Luque who absolutely obliterated Perry’s nose late in the third frame.
