Here's the fight video of Dione Barbosa vs Ernesta Kareckaite from last night's UFC show in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This fight is at Flyweight. Both fighters are making their UFC debuts and both went through Contenders Series. Dione is 31 years old from Belo Horizonte, Brazil. She trains at BH Rhinos. She was an Olympic judoka so she's known as the Brazilian Ronda. Ernesta is 25 years old from Lithuania. She's a former competitive swimmer. She a striker. Dione got off to a quick start and easily won round one 10-9. Round two was a nothing round. There was a long period with Dione on her back and Ernesta standing and kicking her legs. I don't know why she continued to do that. Plus the ref should have put a stop to it and stand them up. So I scored the round 10-9 for Dione. Dione seemed to run out of gas in round three. So Ernesta won the round 10-9. So I scored the fight 29-28 for Dione. All three judges scored it the same. Dione looks like a good fighter who needs to work on her endurance. Enjoy the video!
