The main event at UFC Vegas 77 was what the entire world was waiting for. The fight between the American warrior, Holly Holm and the Brazilian fighter, Mayra Bueno Silva, was nothing short of a spectacle. However, the #10 bantamweight fighter, ‘Sheetara’ claimed victory over ‘The Preacher’s Daughter’ with a phenomenal submission in the second round.

The fight began with the former UFC bantamweight champion patiently examining her opponent. Holm’s game plan was clearly one where she controlled the entire fight. As soon as the first round commenced, the fighters engaged in a short exchange of blows. Soon after, Holm pushed Silva back against the fence and entered a clinch. They separated, but Holm wasn’t ready to let her opponent have it easy. She went on and had the first round to herself.

However, the second round didn’t go in favor of the former champion. The second round began with a few strikes. But Holm wanted to enter the realm of grappling. Little did she know that the underdog might be powerful as well.
