It was a good first round for Ketlen Vieira, but the Brazilian was unable to keep the pressure up for the rest of the fight at UFC Vegas 19. After a difficult start, Yana Kunitskaya managed to weather the storm and inflicted enough damage on her opponent to sway the judges and score a unanimous decision win. On Twitter, professional fighters reacted to the contest.

That was a big statement from Yana. Stifled all the BJJ and made bad positions work for her. #UFCVegas19

What a weird fight to score, Viera controlled significantly more but threw almost no strikes!

Even though #Vieira had WAYmore control in the 3rd round. @YanaKunitskaya1 did WAY more damage #UFCVegas19
