Dominates after weight miss
Moura defeated Montserrat Ruiz via TKO (punches) at 2:14 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
ANALYSIS
It was about as dominant a performance as you will ever see in a fight which lasted seven-plus minutes. Moura closed with a 102-9 edge in total strikes landed. That is not a misprint. That's the good news for Moura. The bad news is that much of the good work she did inside the octagon was negated by the fact she missed weight by 3.5 pounds on Friday morning. She had to forfeit 30 percent of her purse to Ruiz in order for the fight to proceed. Moura is obviously worth keep an eye on moving forward, but it's imperative she get her weight cutting issues under control before her next bout.

Earns contract, remains undefeated
Moura defeated Janaína Silva via submission (rear-naked choke) at 4:00 at Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series. After the show, she was one of five fighters to be awarded an official UFC contract.
ANALYSIS
Moura was in control of this fight from the opening bell, taking the opportunity to hit a reactive takedown on her aggressive opponent. From there, "Ronda" methodically worked her way to more advantageous positions until Silva was forced to give up her back. Strawweight has its share of grapplers, but Moura is big for the weight class and is a dedicated finisher, notching just one decision among her nine victories. It will be interesting to see how her career develops as she attempts to break into the top 15.
