Marion Reneau

The Belizean Bruiser

USA

Ends career with defeat
BantamweightUFC
July 17, 2021
Reneau lost to Miesha Tate via TKO (strikes) at 1:53 of Round 3 at UFC on ESPN 26 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
That will put a close to Reneau's 13-fight, six-plus-year UFC run. She finishes with a 5-7-1 record, which all things considered, isn't too darn bad, especially when you take into account she lost her last five fights. Reneau turned 44 years of age last month, and while she keeps herself in great shape, it was abundantly clear she was no longer able to fight with the same type of physicality we saw from her in the early portion of her UFC run. Reneau earned victories over both Jessica Andrade and Sara McMann, while also stepping into the octagon with the likes of Tate, Holly Holm, and Cat Zingano. Not too bad for a former California teacher.

March 20, 2021
Reneau lost to Macy Chiasson via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC Vegas 22 on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
The first round was very competitive in what was mainly a striking battle. Reneau landed more volume, but Chiasson's shots were more impactful. Round 2 was much more straightforward for Chiasson. She hurt Reneau multiple times during the round and ended in top position. During Round 3, it was competitive during the beginning and middle. Still, Macy secured a trip takedown that secured her top position for the rest of the round, where he landed significant damage.

ANALYSIS
Reneau and Chiasson were scheduled to fight Feb. 6, but the matchup was pushed back three weeks after Reneau tested positive for COVID-19, MMAJunkie.com reports. Reneau will look to snap a recent skid after dropping her last three fights via unanimous decision. Chiasson most recently defeated Shanna Young via unanimous decision at UFC Rio Rancho in February of 2020. Chiasson has advantages in both height and reach.

ANALYSIS
Reneau had been scheduled to face Ketlen Vieira in late September but withdrew due to an undisclosed injury. The problem has evidently since gone away.
