LAS VEGAS – Elise Reed was seeking Daniel Cormier’s approval after her win at UFC 279.
Reed (6-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC) defeated octagon newcomer Melissa Martinez (7-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) by unanimous decision at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday.
The former CFFC champion was able to show off her defensive wrestling, then landed a couple of takedowns herself. Reed, who was finished by Sam Hughes in her prior fight by ground and pound, had some words for wrestling standout Cormier at the commentary table.
