Eric Marcotte's review of Saturday's card where Ketlen Vieira defeated Holly Holm by a narrow split decision in the bantamweight main event.

In the final minute of the round, Vieira landed a short combination that knocked Holm’s head back but was unable to capitalize. Holm remained committed to her gameplan of wrestling Vieira against the cage but was not having the same success in the clinch that she was earlier. Vieira nearly caught Holm in a choke in the process, and Holm looked like she was a second away from tapping out, but Vieira lost her positioning, and the fighters continued to wrestle against the cage. Holm appeared to be the stronger fighter, and racked up the majority of the control time, but was unable to complete a takedown. The corner of Morales was telling him to turn this fight into a brawl, knowing that he was in need of a finish. In the final minute of the fight, Martinez changed levels and took Morales to the ground, where the fight remained until the final horn sounded. Martinez was active with kicks to the body and lead leg of Morales early in the bout, and he caught Morales with a sharp jab as Morales flurried forward. A few minutes into the second round, a strong counter left hand from Medic dropped Morales hard, and as Morales attempted to make it back to his feet, he was dropped once more. Ricci was not terribly active from top position, however, Viana seemed content to fight from her back, and much like the first round, the fight remained in this position until the horn sounded. The leg kicks from Martinez had added up by the end of the round, and Morales was reacting to them poorly, reaching down low in an attempt to catch the kicks. I was impressed by Hooper’s performance here, as he was able to maintain that pace for the better part of three rounds, and by the time the fight reached its final round, Hooper’s significant edge in the cardio department allowed him to secure the late finish. Colares was able to defend the attempt, and he proceeded to land a series of kicks before Hooper was able to catch one, and from there Hooper was able to successfully bring the fight to the ground.

He was also more efficient, connecting on 57 percent of his significant strikes compared to just 45 percent for Anders. In all, Park stuffed all but three of 24 takedown attempts by Anders. It's a big win for Ricci moving forward as Viana is easily the best opponent that she has beaten. After sitting down a talented fighter in Tudorovic, his stock will continue to rise. Ultimately, Pereira did enough to get the nod from the judges, although the second round could have gone either way. By the third round, both fighters were swinging and throwing caution to the wind. With two five-round victories over Holm and Miesha Tate, it's getting harder to argue against her getting a shot at the winner of Julianna Pena and Amanda Nunes. Pereira put the pressure on early. Vieira was able to turn the tide for a bit in the second round. Holm's cardio was on display in the fourth round. The third round featured a little bit of both fighters' strengths. Vieira had multiple failed takedown attempts, while Holm controlled the Brazilian with her clinch game against the fence.
