Viviane Araujo was fighting with a lot of emotion on Saturday night as she dedicated her performance to her grandmother, who passed away earlier this year due to complications after contracting the coronavirus.
For the better part of three rounds, Araujo dominated Montana De La Rosa on the feet, putting on a striking showcase before earning a unanimous decision victory at UFC Vegas 9. The final scorecards read 30-27, 30-27 and 29-28 with Araujo getting the win to move to 3-1 overall in the UFC.
“I trained a lot this year,” Araujo said following her win.
