In a result sure to upset the home crowd at The O2 Arena, Elise Reed lands a close, split decision (27-30, 29-28, 29-28) win against Welsh prospect, Cory McKenna on the preliminary card of UFC London.
Recovering from a close opening round, in which she was briefly dropped, Reed managed to improve upon her performance in the second round, nabbing the two final frames on two of the three judge’s scorecards — with a sole judge somewhat questionably handing McKenna all three rounds in the close back-and-forth. The victor moves Reed to 5-1 as a professional after a UFC debut loss to Sijara Eubanks.
