Cheyanne Buys won her first UFC victory after an amazing knock-out of Gloria de Paula in the first round of their fight. This is the first win of the fighter at the UFC, although she had a personal MMA record of 6-2-0 (W-L-D).
Cheyanne Buys was ready to wrestle but instead, she produced a jaw-dropping highlight-reel finish in her co-main event fight. After bringing Gloria de Paula to the ground momentarily, Cheyanne Buys decided to let her opponent up, and just as the Brazilian was getting off the canvas she was met with a devastating shin to the face that put her back down again.
Cheyanne Buys thought she had a walk-off knockout with the head kick but the referee allowed the fight to continue, which led to her jumping into the mount and just punching Gloria de Paula repeatedly without much resistance offered in return. That mercifully stopped the fight with the official end time coming at just 1:00 into the opening round.
“I didn’t expect that”, said Cheyanne Buys after the fight. “She has great striking. This fight I really wanted to showcase I can wrestle. It’s been a long road to get here. A crazy fight camp for me”, added she.
Cheyanne Buys is an American MMA fighter, who competes in the Strawweight division of the UFC and is a former Contender Series winner. before UFC, she had fought at Invicta FC and LFA.
