The UFC Fight Night 182 main-card opener between Cory McKenna and Kay Hansen wasn’t just a battle of intriguing strawweight prospects. It was also the youngest combined fight in UFC women’s history, with both fighters entering the octagon Saturday at age 21.
Hansen is best known for her ground skills, and she had her moments on the ground. But even there, McKenna had answers, such as late in the second round, when Hansen sinked in a rear-naked choke that looked tight, but McKenna managed to not only escape, but also sweep into top position and re-assert control. That late sequence may have been what sealed things for McKenna in what was the fight’s closest round.
Bit of Cwmbran/Welsh success overnight :thumbup:
