Sam Hughes made it three in a row at UFC Paris with a dominant second-round submission victory over Shauna Bannon.
Hughes landed an early takedown after Bannon initiated the clinch. Landing a few shots from guard, Hughes transitioned to side control and caught Bannon in a crucifix. Hughes landed a few solid shots, but Bannon eventually got Hughes back to half guard.
Though the first round clearly belonged to Hughes, Bannon scored a moral victory after fighting back to her feet with only seconds left in the stanza.
Bannon ended up right back on her back in the second after Hughes opened up with some solid striking that caused the Irishwoman to lose her balance.
