Caitlin Vieira defeated Holly Holm in UFC Fight Night on Saturday to register a victory over the former UFC champion. Vieira walked out of the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada with a narrow split decision on the boxing legend.
Holm and Vieira strike accurately and often. Vieira hit 40 of his 45 total in Round 1 while Holm got home for 33 of 41. Saturday’s headliners weren’t intimidated by each other’s strengths. Vieira was set to fight on foot with the three-division boxing champion and Holm juggling effortlessly with a Brazilian jiu-jitsu and judo specialist.
Holm got a solid entry for a double leg takedown in a single leg dump in Round 2. Vieira managed to counter single leg and was locked onto a standing rear-neck choke that left Holm terrified. The look on Holm’s face triggered a flashback of the Hail Mary behind-naked choke defeat to Mischa Tate at UFC 200; However, Holm breaks free and hits a sharp elbow to Vieira.
Vieira attempted a head kick early in Round 3 but allowed Holm to push his opponent to victory. Holm spent most of the goal pressing Vieira against the fence. This was arguably Holm’s most decisive round until Vieira hit a hard right hand to his chin in the final 30 seconds of the round. More clinch work kept Vieira from really making his hard punch.
Fight results
Caitlin Vieira stayed on course and won a gruesome split decision over Holly Holm in the main event of UFC Fight Night 206 from the UFC’s Apex Facility in Las Vegas.
From the beginning, the main event was a fight for the position. Vieira had several unsuccessful takedown attempts, while Holm controlled the Brazilian with his clinch game against the fence.
Vieira was able to turn the tide a bit in the second round. He gained enough momentum in a hip throw takedown to land Holm and pin Holm against the cage in his own clinch, even catching a choke that was deep enough to endanger the former champion. put in.
In the third round both fighters had a bit of a strength. Holm largely held position at the clincher for the round, but Vieira made some crucial strikes.
Holm’s cardio was on display in the fourth round. While Vieira appeared to slow down the 40-year-old, Holm stuck with his gameplan and even landed a front kick to the face that shook his opponent.
She was again able to control for most of the fifth round with her clinch game, but that wasn’t enough to convince the judges that she deserved to raise her hand.
This is Vieira’s second consecutive win over a former champion. With two five-round victories over Holm and Misha Tate, it’s getting harder to argue against getting a shot at the winner of Juliana Pea and Amanda Nunes.
