UFC 242 took place September 7th from The Arena in Abu Dhabi, Dubain, United Arab Emerates. In women's action Joanne Calderwood scored a big win taking a close split decision from Andrea Lee. Most of the bout was on the feet with both having moments coming forward and landing strikes and trying to seal the round with late takedowns. While the total strikes were about even in the first two rounds, Calderwood took control of round three to seal it. Earlier Sarah Moras got a much needed win with a TKO of Liana Jojua. Moras was aggressive from the start and constantly had Jojua's back up against the cage dominating in the clinch. In the third round Moras got in a dominant position and landed strikes till the ref stepped in. Here are all your results and our Of The Night Awards.
