With a phenomenal submission in the very first fight of the evening, the second fight was led by Conor McGregor’s countrymate, the undefeated Shauna Bannon against the Brazilian strawweight WMMA contender, Bruna Brasil. But McGregor’s second coming did not go as planned. McGregor predicted that Bannon would win the bout, but it was Brasil who won by unanimous decision.

The fight commenced with a strong kick by Bannon. But ‘The Special One’ wasn’t one to keep it down. The two fighters kept exchanging blows and showing off their striking prowess. While Bannon kept attempting to land some strikes, Brasil succeeded in sneaking a couple of nasty hits, making her opponent bleed. The round ended with the scoreboard tilting in Brasil’s favor.

Although the second round began in a similar fashion, the two quickly began showcasing their grappling skills. Bannon pushed the Brazilian toward the fence and entered a clinch, followed by a few unsuccessful takedown attempts by both fighters. The story soon turned in favor of ‘The Special One’ as she not only escaped the clinch and landed some significant hits, but also took down Bannon through a double-leg takedown. The bell rang with Brasil on top of Bannon.

Throughout the fight, Bannon kept attempting to strike her opponent out, and Brasil kept sending out strong counters. In the final round, one of Brasil’s punches sent Bannon down, but she was quick to recover. But Bannon had had enough. She made sure to land a strike that sent Brasil off balance and was forced to clinch. But the Irishwoman was quick on the ground and soon gained control. The fight ended with the Dubliner attempting a submission. But only one could be declared a victor. Brasil was declared the winner by unanimous decision.
