Undefeated Brazilian contender Ketlen Vieira (9-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) earned the biggest win of her career, scoring a gutsy submission win over Sara McMann (11-4 MMA, 5-4 UFC) in impressive fashion. The women’s bantamweight bout closed out today’s UFC 215 prelims, which took place at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and aired on FS1. The two fighters traded punches to start, but McMann wasted little time shooting inside and looking to get the action to the floor. Vieira showed solid defense in her initial effort, but McMann continued to press until she did score the takedown, quickly settling into her opponent’s guard. Working from top position, McMann dropped several powerful elbows on to her opponent’s face, while Vieira tried unsuccessfully to control the arms and set up a potential submission. Instead, it was McMann who advanced quickly to half-guard and then the full variety before rifling off punches to the face
