LAS VEGAS – Yana Kunitskaya may have picked up a big win in her first appearance of 2021, but it didn’t come without a surprise or two. Kunitskaya (14-5 MMA, 4-2 UFC) outpointed Ketlen Vieira with a unanimous decision in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 185 , which took place Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, earning scores of 29-28 on all three scorecards. But despite coming out of the matchup relatively unscathed compared to her busted-up opponent, the Russian admitted she was caught unaware by just how powerful the Brazilian was in the wrestling and grappling exchanges.
