Shanna Young entered her bout as a promising fighter who couldn't quite get her hand raised. Taking on the well-experienced Gina Mazany was quite the task the promotion gave her, but she passed with flying colors.

The fight was competitive early on, but it seemed that 'Danger' had a pace that would eventually drown Young as the contest progressed. However, the script was flipped, and Mazany seemed to struggle to keep up with that pace.

'The Shanimal' secured top position from a scramble in round two, and she made the most out of it. The 31-year-old gained back control and used it to dominate her opponent. As Young rained down fists, not allowing Mazany to recover a better position, the referee intervened, and the American walked away with her first win.

#3. Francisco Figueiredo defeats Daniel Lacerda

The kneebar submission has been getting the attention it deserves as of late. Francisco is the brother of UFC flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo. Being 1-1 in the UFC, he was hoping to bounce back into the win column at the expense of Lacerda.

Mission accomplished. In a fast-paced scramble, 'Sniper's counterpart left a leg exposed and paid dearly for this. Figueiredo secured this leg and began to hyperextend it.

There was not much resistance from 'Miojo', as this is one of the sport's most painful submissions. A tap of surrender immediately followed a punch to the body. Not just an impressive win, but a quick one at that. The stoppage came at the 1:18 mark of the first round.
