Nearly seven years after their rivalry began, the trilogy between Kalindra Faria and Carina Damm came to a decisive conclusion in Friday’s Titan FC 41 headliner. The organization’s inaugural women’s bantamweight championship was on the line in the headliner, which streamed on UFC Fight Pass from Bank United Center in Coral Gables, Fla., and after five rounds it was Faria (18-5) who captured the gold with a dominant unanimous-decision win and a performance that put her up 2-1 in head-to-head competition against Damm (23-13). The pair first met in September 2009 with Damm overwhelming Faria with strikes for a second-round TKO victory. In July 2013 they collided again, and it ended quickly when Faria locked up a submission finish in a little more than two minutes. There was real tension between Faria and Damm after two fights, and in their third meeting, they went the entire 25 minutes
