#1 Ketlen Vieira vs Sara McMann

Ketlen Vieira scored a major upset over former UFC title-challenger Sara McMann, finishing her with an arm-triangle choke in the second round of their showdown.

This win will surely propel Vieira into the upper-echelon of the 135-pound weight-class. On the flipside, this is a bad, bad loss for McMann, and a possible sign that her days as a top contender may well be over.

Result: Ketlen Vieira def. Sara McMann via Submission (arm triangle) (Rd 2, 4:16)


#2 Sarah Moras vs Ashlee Evans-Smith

Yet another upset on the card was Sarah Moras finishing Ashlee Evans-Smith in the very first round of the fight.

Evans-Smith is a rough n’ tumble gatekeeper for the division, and much like the aforementioned Ketlen Vieira, Sarah Moras now finds herself as a new contender in the UFC Women’s Bantamweight Division.

Result: Sarah Moras def. Ashlee Evans-Smith via Submission (armbar) (Rd 1, 2:51)


#3 Rick Glenn vs Gavin Tucker

Gavin Tucker was expected to run through Rick Glenn. However, it did not quite pan out that way.

One of a trio of undercard upsets, Rick Glenn dominated Gavin Tucker, and the scorecards were all over the board. This is a bad loss for Tucker -- one in which he got outclassed on the feet as well as the mat.

Result: Rick Glenn def. Gavin Tucker via Unanimous Decision (30-25, 30-24, 29-27)


#4 Alex White vs Mitch Clarke

Alex White absolutely trucked through Mitch Clarke, besting him by technical-knockout in the second stanza of their matchup.

Neither White nor Clarke are at the elite level yet, but one ought to keep an eye on White. Should he carry the killer instinct and ferociousness that he displayed today, he can ascend to the top in the years to come.

Result: Alex White def. Mitch Clarke via TKO (punches) (Rd 2, 4:36)
