During a UFC Fight Night 241 prelim, a Melissa Gatto punch to the chest crumpled Tamires Vidal for a TKO at 0:37 of Round 3 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. A lead left by Gatto (9-2-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) is what caused the damage. Vidal (7-3 MMA, 1-2 UFC) had a bit of a delayed response, but turned her back and clutched her chest. Gatto threw another punch to the same area and then pulled up, as she noticed Vidal was done. Referee Chris Tognoni then stepped in to wave off the contest.
