Rachael Ostovich gave Team Gaethje a 4-3 lead with a one-sided win over Melinda Fabian on this week’s episode of The Ultimate Fighter 26.
In a classic grappler vs. striker matchup, it was the Invicta veteran who came out on top, surprising Fabian with hard overhand rights on the feet before taking her down to the ground where she had a clear advantage.
Fabian attempted to escape Ostovich’s control by just powering out of bottom position, but Ostovich scrambled and took her back. She battered Fabian with short punches and hammerfists before forcing the tap-out via rear-naked choke submission with less than a minute to go in Round 1.
