Vanessa Demopoulos has her first UFC win, and like the fight, her post-fight interview ended in an unpredictable fashion.
In the second fight of the UFC 270 prelims, Demopoulos (7-4 MMA, 1-1 UFC) defeated opponent Silvana Gomez Juarez (10-4 MMA, 0-2 UFC) via first-round armbar at 2:25 of Round 1.
The win was Demopoulos’ first in the promotion and it did not come without adversity. The finishing sequence actually came after she was dropped by a Juarez punch. Immediately after the tap, Demopoulos rose to her feet and hit a split – similar to the one she nailed at ceremonial weigh-ins Friday.
