We had three women’s fights we looked at for this week, and two of them ended in round one.
At UFC on ABC 2, Mackenzie Dern needed just one round to submit Nina Nunes. Meanwhile, at Bellator 256, Diana Avsaragova made quick work of Tara Graff and Liz Carmouche took a decision from Vanessa Porto. In fights we didn’t preview from that same Bellator card, Talita Nogueira won a decision against Jessica Borga and Cat Zingano got the expected first-round submission of Olivia Parker.
Let’s take a look at the three fights we previewed.

ONE Championship
Longtime MMA official and Bellator commentator John McCarthy believes Eddie Alvarez’s disqualification against Iuri Lapicus at ONE on TNT was the product of poorly communicated expectations and overreach from the referee.
McCarthy said Alvarez clearly did not intend to strike Lapicus illegally to the back of the head in the first round of the fight this past Wednesday and should have been warned more clearly before he was disqualified by referee Justin Brown.
