Here's the match video of Loma Lookboonmee vs Sam Hughes from last night's UFC show in Las Vegas. This fight is at Strawweight. Of course Loma is a Muay Thai fighter from Thailand. Her father was a fighter. She trains at his gym. For MMA, she trains with George Hickman at Tiger Muay Thai. Obviously she has great stand up skills and clinch skills. Her other skills are developing. Sam is 28 years old from Everett, WA. She trains with Eddie Grant at Catalyst MMA. She was brought in as a late replacement and she lost to Tecia Torres. I watched one of her LFA fights and I don't think she is a UFC calibre fighter. But that's what you get sometimes with short notice replacements. The big mistake that Sam makes is getting into the clinch with Loma. This leads to several takedowns and top control for Loma. So Loma won the first two rounds. Sam was better in round three but it was too late and Loma won the fight 29-28. The judges scored it that way too. Loma's big problem is she is an Atomweight fighting at Strawweight and I see her having big problems with ranked fighters. Check out the video.
