UFC on ESPN 7 took place December 7th from Capital One Arena in Washington D.C. In women's action Marina Rodriguez and Cynthia Calvillo fought to a draw. Round one was close with Rodriguez winning the stand-up but Calvillo mixed in some takedowns and had her moments. Round two was all Rodriguez landing some good shots on the feet and the ground. Round three saw Calvillo make a comeback and be on the verge of getting the finish which convinced two of the judges to give her a 10-8 round to get the draw. Earlier Aspen Ladd got back on track with a win over Yana Kunitskaya. The story of the fight was Ladd getting clinches but Kunitskaya doing a good job of avoiding serious damage and being fairly active in the clinch. Round one Ladd sealed the round late with a takedown. Round two, Kunitskaya's activity in the clinch was good and maybe got her the round. Round three Ladd came out with a renewed aggression and dropped her and got the stoppage. Also, Virna Jandiroba got her first UFC win over Mallory Martin who stepped in on short notice. Martin was looking for a guillotine in round one but Jandiroba used her excellent ground game to escape and look for her own submissions. In round two it went back to the ground and Jandiroba got the choke and win. Here are all your results and our Of The Night Awards.
