Ansaroff, Burns Score Big Wins At UFC 231

ANSAROFF vs GADELHA

Strawweight contender Nina Ansaroff’s fourth consecutive win was the biggest of her career, as she defeated former world title challenger Claudia Gadelha via unanimous decision in UFC 231 prelim action at Scotiabank Arena.

Gadelha’s striking was sharp and fast in the early going, and she used it well until getting the fight to the mat in the second minute. After eating some ground strikes, Ansaroff got back to her feet with a little over two minutes left, and she went on to land a nice side kick and some hard shots down the stretch.
