The pair clinched in the opening seconds, and Luana Santos looked for a judo throw. Yana Kunitskaya used knees and elbows and kept the first round standing, and the referee broke them for inactivity. In the second, Luana Santos took her down, moved to the back, and hunted a rear-naked choke, Yana Kunitskaya punched over her shoulder and escaped, and Luana Santos took her down again before the horn. Three of the takedowns came in the third, and Yana Kunitskaya stuffed nine attempts in the first. In the third, a trip put Yana Kunitskaya on the canvas, Luana Santos took the back with 3:30 left and held it until the bell, still hunting the choke, and the control time was 7:30 to 4:01.
