UFC on FOX 15: VanZant vs. Herrig full fight video highlights

Bloody Elbow 2.0 | Anton Tabuena

Following an entertaining preliminary card, a pair of talented strawweights kicked off the UFC on FOX 15 main card with an impressive fight that showcased Paige VanZant’s growing stardown and fight arsenal.

Check out Dallas Winston’s play-by-play for the final round:

Left body kick for VanZant early. They clinch and VanZant bullies Herrig against the fence, then hits a slick hip throw with the whizzer. VanZant stays on top and flings down punches as Herrig tries to roll into a leg lock. VanZant stacks the legs and lands unhindered hammer-fists to the face. Herrig laboriously works for a back-take and gets it after a prolonged struggle.

Both hooks in for Herrig but VanZant takes top position by spinning into her guard. No wrist or posture control from Herrig and she pays the price with a hum-drum of short rights and lefts. Herrig continues to triangle a leg without an upper-body control and VanZant pounds away with a ceaseless barrage of leather. 10-8 VanZant. I have it 30-27 her way.
