Elise Reed

USA

Rebounds following slow start
FlyweightUFC
June 3, 2023
Reed defeated Jinh Yu Frey via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC on ESPN 46 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Reed deserves credit for figuring things out here following a slow start. She had plenty of success on the feet for the duration of the bout, but spent far too much time in the opening frame on her back. She gave up another takedown in Round 2, but all three judges felt her overwhelming edge in the striking department was enough to win the stanza. The final frame, Reed's best, wasn't close. Already 30 years of age, Reed's ceiling is extremely low, but she's done well to forge a .500 record in her first half-dozen fights with the company.

Reed lost to Loma Lookboonmee via submission (rear-naked choke) at 0:44 of Round 2 at UFC 284 on Saturday in Perth, Australia.
ANALYSIS
Entering as a significant underdog for this bout at +285, Reed was somehow able to work herself into a dominant position on the mat late in Round 1, and it resulted in all three judges giving her the frame. The roof caved in early in Round 2. Reed was thrown to the ground by Lookboonmee and found herself tapping out just seconds later. The 30-year-old New Jersey native has now alternated losses and wins in her first five UFC bouts. There isn't much to see here.
Slated to fight Lookboonmee

November 6, 2022
Reed is expected to take on Loma Lookboonmee in a strawweight bout at UFC 284 on Feb. 11, Nolan King of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Reed will look to notch her second win in a row after defeating Melissa Martinez via unanimous decision Sept. 10. The 29-year-old is 2-2 in her UFC career, and she will on an opponent in Lookboonmee who is 4-2 in the promotion dating back to 2019. Reed stands two inches taller and holds a slight 1.5-inch reach advantage over this 26-year-old Muay Thai specialist, and she is currently ranked as the 19th-best female strawweight in the world.
Pulls upset in Vegas

September 10, 2022
Reed defeated Melissa Martinez via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC 279 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Full marks to Reed for doing what was necessary to emerge with the victory. Elise struggled with the speed of Martinez whenever the two women were standing at distance, but Reed's Round 1 knockdown was the only one of the bout. With the fight tied at a round apiece entering the final frame, Reed went to her wrestling, landing all three of her takedown attempts. The 29-year-old New Jersey native has now alternated wins and losses in her first four UFC bouts. Expect Reed's record to hover around the .500 mark moving forward.
Steps in to face newcomer
FlyweightUFC
July 5, 2022
Reed will step in to face UFC newcomer Melissa Martinez in a flyweight matchup at UFC 279 on Sept. 10 in Salt Lake City, Alex Behunin of Cageside Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Reed has publicly expressed her desire to remain active in the UFC, and she's doing just that, with the September matchup set to be her fourth since debuting with the company in July of 2021. Martinez has been the opposite, as the former Combate Americas champion hasn't had a pro fight in over three years. Reed is a regional champion herself, earning her belt under the banner of CFFC. She'll have a one-inch height advantage, but give up an inch in reach.
