After securing her first UFC finish over Karolina Kowalkiewicz at June’s UFC 212, former women’s strawweight challenger Claudia Gadelha was looking to lock up a third bout with champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk when she battled Jessica Andrade in the co-main event of last night’s (Fri., September 22, 2017) UFC Fight Night 117 from the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.

Despite an extremely strong start where she showed crisp, accurate punches, however, it was her Brazilian countrymate Andrade who weathered the storm to batter a tiring Gadelha when the fight became a bloody, all-out battle in the final two rounds. Also a former title contender, Andrade used a never-ending stream of huge slams and top control to bludgeon Gadelha and take the gas out of her tank, landing 141 significant strikes including several ground shots to the body.

In a card full of impressive performances, the bout deservedly earned “Fight of the Night” and should put Andrade back up on the short list of legit contenders for Jedrzejczyk’s iron grip on the belt. Watch full highlights of Andrade’s most telling UFC victory here:

The UFC continued their packed September schedule with tonight’s (Fri., September 22, 2017) UFC Fight Night 117 from the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.

Light heavyweight contender Ovince Saint Preux met late replacement and returning veteran Yushin Okami in the main event, ending the fight early and scoring a second straight finish in Japan with his third overall Von Flue choke.

Top-ranked women’s strawweight Claudia Gadelha faced fellow former title contender Jessica Andrade in the co-main event, and the fight turned into an absolute bloodbath with Gadelha controlling the action early with some cutting elbows. But Andrade bided her time and took the fight over in the second and third, slamming and battering her Brazilian rival with a bludgeoning assault of ground and pound.

The fighters will answer questions for the media at the post-fight press conference streaming live in the video shortly after the main card’s conclusion below:

Ovince Saint Preux vs. Yushin Okami Full Fight Video Highlights

Top-ranked UFC light heavyweight Ovince Saint Preux was forced to go through a last-minute opponent change when Yushin Okami replaced his original foe Shogun Rua in the main event of tonight’s (Fri., September 22, 2017) UFC Fight Night 117 from the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan, but he didn’t let that stop him.

Top-ranked UFC light heavyweight Ovince Saint Preux was forced to go through a last-minute opponent change when Yushin Okami replaced his original foe Shogun Rua in the main event of tonight’s (Fri., September 22, 2017) UFC Fight Night 117 from the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan, but he didn’t let that stop him.

Not in the slightest, in fact, as Saint Preux used his signature submission to extend his own record when he won a third UFC bout via rarely-seen Von Flue choke when Okami went for an ill-fated takedown early in the fight, only to make the mistake of wrapping up a lazy guillotine from half guard.

The win kept Saint Preux’s momentum in the super-shallow light heavyweight arena afloat, and a title shot could be around the corner for the former interim title challenger. Watch the full fight video highlights of “OSP’s” impressive stoppage here:
