Here's the match video of Pannie Kianzad vs Sijara Eubanks from last night's UFC show in Las Vegas. This fight is at Bantamweight. Pannie trains in Sweden. She was in TUF 28 for Featherweights but she is really a Bantamweight. She has a clear size advantage over Sijara who was in TUF 26 for Flyweights. But when she couldn't make weight, she was forced to move to Bantamweight. Though she has shown some improvement since moving to Mark Henry's camp, she probably wouldn't be in the UFC if she hadn't tried to fight at Flyweight. Sijara wins round one when she gets a takedown and is able to maintain top position. But in the other two rounds, Pannie was able to avoid takedowns and controlled the fight especially in the clinch. I scored the fight 29-28 for Pannie and so did all three judges. Having followed her entire career, I don't see Pannie having the same success with higher ranked fighters. Enjoy the video!
