Rising star Paige VanZant made a successful pay-per-view debut to kick off the UFC 191 card at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The 21-year-old defeated Alex Chambers via submission (armbar) in the third round of the main card's first fight.
Just over a minute into the third round, VanZant ended things with an armbar of Chambers as her motor kicked into high gear following a strong second stanza.
According to MMAFighting.com, VanZant said she reverted back to basics on-the-fly in order to emerge with the victory:
VanZant: I worked a lot of technique for this fight, but it kind of went out the window and I just brawled like I usually do.
