Stanciu lost to Cortney Casey via TKO (elbows) at 2:36 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Wednesday in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
ANALYSIS
The inexperience of the 22-year-old Stanciu cost her this fight. She was severely off balance after throwing two hopeless punches during a striking exchange and that allowed Casey to grab her, throw her to the mat and gain top position. Stanciu could never get her arm free and Casey unloaded repeated vicious elbows before referee Bobby Wombacher finally intervened. Stanciu went 5-0 beating up nobodies in the unknown RXF promotion, but she's 0-2 since entering the UFC. She may get one more opportunity because of her age, but that's the only thing that would keep her from being unemployed in the near future.
