Ketlen Vieira stayed the course and won a grueling split decision over Holly Holm in the main event of UFC Fight Night 206 from the UFC's Apex Facility in Las Vegas.
From the outset, the main event was a battle of positioning. Vieira had multiple failed takedown attempts, while Holm controlled the Brazilian with her clinch game against the fence.
Vieira was able to turn the tide for a bit in the second round. She got enough momentum into a hip throw takedown to get Holm to the ground and pinned Holm against the cage in her own clinch, even grabbing on to a choke that was deep enough put the former champion in danger.
