Piera Rodriguez made it two-in-a-row with an uncomfortably close split decision victory over Ketlen Souza in the UFC Vegas 108 opener on Saturday night.
Souza looked good early on, landing some solid shots, but the story of the first round was Rodriguez’s brutal body attack, landing knees and ripping to Souza’s midsection. Rodriguez closed out the round with her first takedown of the fight.
Rodriguez once again worked Souza to the mat in the second stanza after Souza threw an ill-advised flying knee.
