Here's the match video of Cheyanne Buys vs Gloria De Paula from last night's UFC show in Las Vegas. This fight is at Strawweight. Both fighters got into the UFC through Dana White's Contender Series. And then both lost t5heir UFC debuts. Cheyanne was so upset, she and her husband (also a UFC fighter) picked up and moved from Houston to Las Vegas to join Xtreme Couture and coach Eric Nicksick. She trained there before she got married. Gloria and her UFC fighter girlfriend Mayra Bueno Silva train at Chute Boxe in Sao Paulo, Brazil with coach Diego Lima. Gloria said she was nervous during her UFC debut. Cheyanne won with a quick finish. She took Gloria down. Gloria was landing elbows from the bottom. So Cheyanne got up. And while Gloria was getting up, Cheyanne landed a head kick for the win. Though Cheyanne got a $50,000 bonus for it, I thought she was very lucky. She was fortunate that Gloria was on her feet. If she isn't, that is an illegal blow and a likely DQ. Plus there is so much luck in landing a blow like that, she needs to do it again or it doesn't count. My guess is she will face a ranked fighter next time. We'll see how that goes. Enjoy the video!
