With the right to massacre, Jéssica 'Bate-Estaca' from Paraná achieved her first victory in the UFC and proved that she can stay in the organization. Facing Rosi Sexton, the Brazilian took no notice of her rival, attacked for fifteen minutes and took the win with a unanimous decision from the judges. The duel was an attraction on the main card of UFC Fight Night 30, an event held this Saturday afternoon (26), in Manchester, England.

As soon as the duel started, Jéssica didn't waste time studying and went straight to the top. With an excellent combination of blows, the Brazilian freed her hand and made her rival feel the power of her fists. Lost in the exchange, the Englishwoman tried to take the fight to the ground, but always without success. In the final moments of the first half, Jéssica managed a sensational knockdown and Rossi was saved by the bell.

In the second round, history repeated itself. The Brazilian worked on her boxing and was close to forcing the referee to stop the duel. But with a lot of courage, Sexton managed to survive in the fight. With an advantage in the duel, 'Bate-Estaca' didn't stop in the third round. The Brazilian repeated the recipe from the previous partials and took the fight with a unanimous decision from the judges (30×26, 30×27, 30×26).

“For those who were saying that it wasn't time for me to be in the UFC, here's the answer. That was my debut. The fight really could have been stopped, but the opponent is strong, she can take a beating and that's good for putting on a show for the fans”, said the Brazilian still in the Octagon.

With victory, Jessica Stacker is recovering from the setback in her Ultimate debut, when she was knocked out by Liz Carmouche in July. Now, the Brazilian has 10 wins and three losses in MMA.
