Drops very tight decision in Vegas
Kianzad lost to Raquel Pennington via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Kianzad should be proud of her effort despite the defeat. In what was a back-and-forth war on the feet, both women had their moments. Most would have thought going in that Kianzad would have had difficulty in clinch situations along the fence, but she more than held her own there, which is important considering a good portion of the fight was contested in tight. Kianzad appeared to win Round 1 on the strength of some power shots, but Pennington took the next two on the strength of plenty of volume. There was very little separation between the two, and if Kianzad and Pennington fought ten times, both would likely win five. The Swede sees her four-fight winning streak snapped with this defeat.

Wins streak hits four
Kianzad defeated Alexis Davis via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) at UFC 263 on Saturday in Glendale, Arizona.
ANALYSIS
It's been far from pretty, but Kianzad has now won four fights in a row -- all via unanimous decision -- since dropping a unanimous decision to Julia Avila in her company debut back in July 2019. Kianzad is a solid boxer, although she has little stopping power in her hands. Her skills on the feet combined with her size (5-foot-7) and durability (one career knockout loss) allow Kianzad to remain competitive against most anyone she faces at 135 pounds. The ceiling here isn't particularly high, but Kianzad has enough gas in the tank to get past fringe roster fighters such as the aging Davis.
