Remains perfect in UFC
Lisboa defeated Ravena Oliveira via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It was a clear cut victory for Lisboa, but she had to work considerably harder against Oliveira than in her submission win over Jessica-Rose Clark in her UFC debut this past May. Tainara started strong, overwhelming Oliveira with both her striking and grappling over the course of the first ten minutes, but she tired in Round 3 and dropped the frame on all three scorecards. It didn't end up mattering, but the Brazilian will have to work on keeping that same high-end pace for 15 minutes if she hopes to have continued success moving forward.

Strong showing in debut win
Lisboa defeated Jessica-Rose Clark via submission (rear-naked choke) at 4:20 of Round 3 at UFC on ABC 4 on Saturday in Charlotte.
ANALYSIS
It was a strong effort from Lisboa in her UFC debut in a bout in which she got increasingly better as the fight progressed. A noted stand-up specialist, Tainara displayed fast hands and excellent footwork. She mixed in a successful takedown, in addition to choking out Clark late in Round 3. At age 32, Lisboa is too old to be termed a "prospect," and she will undoubtedly face a stiffer test her next time out, but this was a nice start to her run with the company.

Official debut set
Lisboa will make her UFC debut against Jessica-Rose Clark in a bantamweight matchup at the UFC event scheduled for May 13, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Lisboa was signed by the UFC last May, and it will end up taking the company nearly a year to get her official debut on the record. The 31-year-old is on a three-fight winning streak under Brazil-based regional promotions, and all five of her professional victories have been earned by way of stoppage. Lisboa will now be taking on a fighter in Clark who has suffered back-to-back submission losses.
