The scorecards for Holly Holmes vs Victoria Vieira last night were extremely confusing, and it wasn't easy to call a winner. Holm's first round featured many high-quality exchanges and a close fight. However, the scores didn't change until the final round. Holm was able to come back with a win in round four after Vieira landed a massive left hand and a spinning elbow. Vieira however got some solid knees, and a big righthook in the same frame. The fight was split by the judges, but Holm seemed to have the slight edge.
UFC Fight Night saw the women's bantamweight division on full display as Holm and Vieira met their first time. Holm, who was the former bantamweight champion was looking to defend that title in UFC. Holm won a close five round split decision but Vieira was more comfortable grappling and outstripping Holm.
Holly Holm, the UFC welterweight champion, was one of the most notable female underdogs in the fight. She is now on her way to being inducted into the Hall of Fame. Holly Vieira is another top contender for UFC women's bantamweight, but her victory over Holm suggests that she could be next. Holly Holm could still be around in 2020 to challenge for UFC women’s bantamweight.

Holly Holmes' dominant performance during her UFC return was the highlight in a thrilling, hard-hitting women’s MMA match last night. The Brazilian, aged 30, won Round 1 with a right handed and spin back elbow. This put Holm on her back. Holm kept pressing forward, despite her early momentum. Soon Holm was facing a standing rear naked choke. Holm's panic brought back memories from her UFC 200 Hail Mary rear naked choke loss to Miesha Nate. But Holm managed to sneak her left arm out and turn the choke into a leglock.
Vieira struggled to adjust to the ring. Her lack of experience led to her loss to a younger opponent, but she was still a year older than Holly Holm. Vieira was also younger having made her MMA debut at the age of 11.
Vieira's latest record isn't as impressive. She is now 2-2 in her four last fights after beating Miesha Tate last month. But she is still a leading contender for the Bantamweight championship. She could still face Holly Holm (or Raquel Pennington) in the interim. She is currently ranked higher that Vieira, who won December's Bantamweight Championship.
