Closing out the preliminary portion of UFC Nashville, Bryce Mitchell edged out a gritty decision over Bobby Moffett to remain undefeated. Mitchell is now 2-0 within the UFC promotion. Marlon Vera came up huge tonight, dropping Frankie Saenz with a jab and then finishing him off with ground strikes in just 85 seconds into the opening round. Vera is now riding a three-fight winning streak, all by way of finish.
Also on the prelims, Jennifer Maia secured her first UFC victory by winning a hard fought decision over the promotion’s #5 ranked women’s flyweight Alexis Davis. Knocking off someone as highly ranked as Davis should catapult Maia up the flyweight ladder.
