The Ultimate Fighting Championship returned this weekend after a one-week hiatus with UFC Vegas 62, also known as UFC Fight Night 212, at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.
In the main event, top flyweight contenders Alexa Grasso (14-3) and Viviane Araujo (11-3) in an important flyweight bout that could open the door to a potential title shot.
After 25 minutes, it was Grasso who came out on top thanks to her crisp striking to extend her winning streak to four. It was the constant movement, combinations, and ability to stuff takedowns that helped the Mexican earn the unanimous decision nod in the first main event of her career.
In the co-main event, Jonathan Martinez used devastating leg kicks to spoil Swanson’s move en route to a second-round TKO victory.
