#3. Liz Carmouche (12-6) vs. Lucie Pudilova (Women's Flyweight)
The first fighter from the Czech Republic to fight in the UFC, Lucie Pudilova took center stage in front of her home fans next as she took on UFC veteran Liz Carmouche.
Round 1: Pudilova looked absolutely humungous in front of Carmouche. Both women worked for a dominant position in the clinch up against the fence. Carmouche deployed an intelligent game plan by nullifying the reach disadvantage by pinning Pudilova onto the cage.
Pudilova almost got in an Anaconda choke but the former Women's Bantamweight title contender got her head out in time. Carmouche attempted a takedown in the closing stages of the round but Pudilova was having none of it.
It was absolutely electric inside the O2 Arena in Prague.
Round 2: Both women measured each other for a solid two minutes as Pudilova shadow kicked a few times. Pudilova went for a big right but lost her balance and Carmouche got hold of the Czech. She picked Pudilova up and slammed her into the ground to score the second takedown of the fight.
Pudilova, though, used her flexibility to good effect and used the cage to turn her herself over into Carmouche's guard. Pudilova ended the round strong with some ground and pound from top position which also opened up a cut on Carmouche's face.
Tough fight to score as Pudilova was the one who moved around a lot but Carmouche may have edged her opponent in terms of the significant moments.
Round 3: It started off in a similar fashion as the previous two before Carmouche scored a takedown. Pudilova, however, worked her way out of tricky situation yet again. She almost got trapped in a heel hook but somehow managed to stay in the fight by kicking back to create some separation.
She rolled and jumped back into Carmouche's guard and assumed top position. She landed some vicious elbows from the top to end the round. However, it may not have been enough as Carmouche may have done enough to win the fight.
Result: Liz Carmouche def. Lucie Pudilova via unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28)
The boos reverberated around the arena as Carmouche was declared the winner. She managed to score the takedowns in every round and controlled the fight for most parts even though fan-favorite Pudilova had her moments.
