High volume earns $50k
Vlismas defeated Mallory Martin via unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Vegas 44 on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
The artist formerly known as Cheyanne Buys, Vlismas took this fight on short notice just weeks after overcoming a serious battle with COVID-19, and she ended up putting forth one of her best performances to date. She won the significant striking tally in all three rounds, setting a new career high with 134 and bringing up her career average to 5.83 per minute. Vlismas, who had been taken down five times in previous two fights, also stuffed all five of Martin's attempts here. Furthermore, she has the durability of Martin to thank, as Martin was able to eat her shots and fire back, ultimately leading to both women getting $50,000 Fight of the Night bonuses. The durability, volume and willing to fight on short notice will all help the stock of Vlismas moving forward.
