Jacqueline Cavalcanti dominates the distance at UFC Vegas 111
The athletes began the duel exchanging low kicks in the center of the octagon. Jacqueline used her greater reach to keep the fight at a distance, using precise jabs and low kicks. Sheetara, smaller and slower, tried to close the distance to connect her strikes, but in one of her attacks, she was hit by a strong right hand from the Portuguese fighter, which forced her to retreat. In the final stretch of the round, the Brazilian managed to grab her rival in an attempt to take the fight to the ground, but the action ended only in the clinch, against the cage.
In the second round, the paths were clearly defined. While Jacqueline sought to maintain distance, Mayra tried to close the distance to work the fight in close combat. However, it was the Portuguese fighter who managed to impose her game plan. With jabs, stance switching, low kicks, and a lot of movement, Jacqueline managed to hit the Brazilian without being touched. Even so, in the final stretch of the round, Mayra connected with a good low kick that made her rival limp, opening a glimmer of hope for the third round.
The final round began with Sheetara attempting a takedown, but after a failed single leg takedown, the Portuguese fighter regained control on her feet. Maintaining distance and control of the action, Jacqueline dominated until the final seconds, securing the victory by unanimous decision.
