Luana Carolina was transported to the hospital in Abu Dhabi.

“Dread” took on Lipski in a flyweight showdown at UFC Fight Island 2 in Abu Dhabi, UAE, on July 18, a match that was originally scheduled for May but was moved due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The match ended 88 seconds into the opening round when Carolina was forced to tap to a violent kneebar.
