Here's the fight video of Josefine Knutsson vs Julia Polastri from last night's UFC in Las Vegas. This fight is at Strawweight. These two were supposed to fight in March but Josefine pulled out due to a back injury. Her replacement got sick. Josefine is 28 years old. She trains at Allstars Training Center in Stockholm, Sweden. She was a kickboxer before she got into the UFC via Road to UFC and Contenders Series. She won her UFC debut. Julia is 26 years old from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She trains at CWB. She went 1-1 in the Contenders Series and now she is making her UFC debut. This fight is striker vs grappler. But Julia really needs to improve her striking if she's going to get anywhere in the UFC. She lacks movement. She stood in the pocket and took shots. Once she was able to take the fight to the ground, Julia had a chance to win. But it took her way too long to do that. So I scored the first two rounds 10-9 for Josefine and the third round 10-9 for Julia. So I scored the fight 29-28 for Josefine. And the judges scored it the same. So Josefine won by unanimous decision. As a kickboxer, Josefine's striking is already pretty good. But she admitted after the fight that she needs to improve her takedown defense. If she can do that, she may have potential. Enjoy the video!
