Here's the fight video of Melissa Gatto vs Tamires Vidal from last night's UFC show in Las Vegas. This fight is at Bantamweight. Melissa is 28 years old from Parana, Brazil. She trains at KO Squad with former Strikeforce fighter Rafael Cavalcante. Melissa is 2-2 in the UFC. She normally fights at Flyweight. But when a recent fight was cancelled when her opponent got sick, the UFC asked Melissa to fill in at Bantamweight. Tamires is 25 years old from Niterol, Brazil. She trains at Team Brothers with coach Marcio Panda. She was in the LFA before going 1-1 in the UFC. Melissa came close to finishing Tamires with ground and pound in round one. The round was pretty close to a 10-8. Then in round two, Melissa almost finished Tamires with an armbar but she was saved by the bell. Also 10-8. Then at 37 seconds of round three. Melissa landed a punch to the chest. Tamires wanted a time out. Well, there are no time outs in MMA. And despite what some might think, that was a legal blow. So Melissa won by TKO and she can go back to Flyweight. Tamires looked awful and I wouldn't be surprised if she was released. Enjoy the video!
