Here's the fight video of Talita Alencar vs Rayanne Amanda from last night's UFC show in Las Vegas. This fight is at Strawweight. This fight was added after this show was moved from Shanghai. Both fighters were on Contenders Series and are making their UFC debuts. Talita is 33 years old from Brazil. She trains at Fight Sports in Deerfield Beach, FL. Her record is 5-0-1. Rayanne is 28 years old from Para, Brazil. She trains at Marajo Brothers which is former UFC fighter Iuri Alcantara and his brother. Her record is 14-7. If you think that both of these fighters are small for Strawweight, that was a topic of discussion on Twitter during this fight to the point that some think the UFC might be starting an Atomweight division. Also, Rayanne fought for Invicta and commentary did not mention them by name. I am skeptical of this. If the UFC was going to start an Atomweight division, they would have done it three years ago when Ham Seo Hee was available. Rayanne was the larger fighter and she started out OK and won round one. Then Talita won round two. So you would think they would be extra aggressive in round three. But they weren't. So I would have scored the round 9-9 and called it a draw because neither deserved to win. Of course judges don't do that. Two of them scored it 10-9 for Talita and the third scored it 10-9 for Rayanne. So Talita won by split decision. Enjoy the video!
