Viera is having such a tough time against the fence. Biggest issue is her over hook. She’s holding holm in place.

I feel like Holly is winning but I’m on the edge of my set thinking Vieira could get a TKO or throw at any second#UFCVegas55

I loved how Holly gave Vieira a hug before the 5th round. After Vieira’s Coach screaming at her, she probably needed it. #ufc #UFCFightNight

Wrong again. Ketlen won the fight. Jeez I am a terrible judge. We have a judging conference coming up and I looking forward to going to school and learning how to watch MMA.
