Claudia Gadelha vs. Karolina Kowalkiewicz ended with a pair of firsts.
Gadelha had never finished an opponent before in the UFC, and Kowalkiewicz had never been finished before in the octagon, though that has changed after Gadelha earned a submission win in their fight Saturday night.
Moments after the fight hit the mat, Kowalkiewicz (10-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) found Gadelha (15-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) on her back squeezing for the rear-naked choke that would ultimately finish her off just a little over three minutes into Round 1.
The strawweight bout co-headlined today’s UFC 212 event at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro. It aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
