Earns first UFC victory
Bannon defeated Alice Ardelean via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 30-27) at UFC 304 on Saturday in Manchester, England.
ANALYSIS
It was about the least technical bout you will ever see, but Bannon now has her first UFC victory under her belt. She took full advantage of Ardelean's struggles on the feet, landing a whopping 151 total strikes compared to just 80 from her opponent. Unfortunately, Bannon gave up a pair of takedowns and struggled on the mat. 30 years of age and with all of seven professional fights under her belt, Bannon's upside would appear quite limited despite the win here.
