Now, Pedrita breathes a sigh of relief in Ultimate. The Brazilian woman overcomes controversy after putting her finger in the eye of Gillian robertson and achieves the third triumph in the organization. She has 11 positive results and four negative results.
On the other hand, Yeon Kim suffers her third setback in a row and is at risk of being cut from the franchise. The South Korean has nine wins, five losses and two draws.
The fight
Aiming for a quick result, Priscila Pedrita scored well at short range and threw good shots at Ji Yeon Kim. The Brazilian dominated the main actions, but ended up counterattacked by the South Korean at specific moments in the fight. Still, she finished on top after a fall at the end of the round.
In a tighter round, Priscila continued 'marching' forward, but was hit frequently. In the final stretch, the Tupiniquim representative landed a flying punch, but received a direct and another cross from the South Korean.
The two fighters went for 'all or nothing' in the third round. Pedrita was at a disadvantage and felt the pressure imposed by Ji Yeon. She, however, did not give up and, despite being injured, still tried to be active in the action. Like a 'zombie', she was hit, but kept going and threw good elbows that shook her opponent.
