Eduarda Moura snapped Veronica Hardy’s four-fight win streak and moved herself to 11-1 with an impressive three-round showing to kick off UFC 309 in NYC.

Moura stuck Hardy with a big right hand early on, that immediately put the Venezuelan on her backfoot. Hardy struggled to close the distance but managed to land a nice body kick at the end of a combination. However, Moura quickly made her pay for it with another booming right hand that popped Hardy’s back.

In the final seconds of the first, Hardy attempted to close the distance and connect with another body kick, but Moura quickly responded with a takedown that put a pretty big stamp on the first five minutes.

In the opening seconds of the second stanza, Hardy landed a nice left hand — her best of the fight up to that point — but Moura quickly shut things down with another successful takedown attempt.

Hardy attempted to fight her way back up for a majority of the round but ultimately acquiesced to the position and rode out the clock.

Likely down 2-0 going into the third, Hardy came out aggressive, but Moura once again caught her with a right-hand coming in. That prompted Hardy to start throwing kicks from the outside — including a punishing lead leg attack with a minute to go.

Hardy wasn’t able to muster much offense beyond that, bringing an end to their three-round affair with little fanfare.

Official Result: Eduarda Moura def. Veronica Hardy via unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28)

UFC flyweight fighter Veronica Hardy spent some time bonding with Nina-Marie Daniele.

Daniele, also known by her social media persona Nina Drama, has spent a lot of time training with some of the UFC’s top stars both in the cage and on the mat. Recently, she hit the mats with Hardy, a 9-4 fighter who is currently sitting on a three-fight win streak with notable wins over Juliana Miller, Jamey-Lyn Horth, and JJ Aldrich.

During their interaction, Hardy put Drama in multiple uncomfortable positions, choking her out with triangle choke.

“Yeah, you definitely feel that,” Drama asked after feeling Hardy’s squeeze. “I mean, how would you — let’s say you go for it and you had me locked in and I’m here. How do you even get out of something like that?”

Hardy then offered Drama some insight into how you can potential defend the maneuver.

“Right, so what you’re trying to do when somebody grabs you is just trying to compress you in. That’s why you put the arm across and you fold their head. So you’re compressing everything. Legs, arm, everything is being compressed like a snake.”

Veronica Hardy and Nina Drama bond over mike tyson’s love for pigeon kisses

After rolling around on the mats for a bit, Drama and Hardy bonded over their love for, of all things, pigeons.

“Veronica: “They’re very smart. They deliver messages,” Hardy said.

“Exactly,” Drama replied in agreement. And Mike Tyson endorses them.

“Yes, and he likes to make them kiss,” Hardy interestingly added. “Kiss now! Kiss! Kiss!

“That’s what I think at weigh-ins when people get really intense and really close to each other,” Drama quipped.

“Now kiss kiss! Like a pigeon kiss,” Hardy concluded.

For context, here’s a picture of Mike Tyson literally kissing a pigeon:

So that’s a thing that happened.

Anyway, Veronica Hardy will be back in action on Saturday night when the UFC heads back to Madison Square Garden for its annual pit stop on Saturday, November 16. There, the Venezuelan vixen (not that one) will look to land her fourth-straight win when she meets Brazil’s Eduarda Moura.
