It was difficult to determine who the winner was after last night's scorecards. The first round of Holm's fight featured a lot of high-quality exchanges. But it wasn't until round five that the scores turned. Holm won round four with a dominant left hand from Vieira and a back elbow spin that Holm returned to win. Vieira, however, got some good knees and a powerful right hook in the second frame. The fight was split by the judges, but Holm seemed to have the slight edge.
The women's bantamweight division was on full display at UFC Fight Night, as Holm and Vieira met for the first time. Holm, the bantamweight champion in the past, was back to defend her title at the UFC. Holm won a five-round split victory, but Vieira was more comfortable grappling with Holm and outstripping her opponent.
Holly Holm was the welterweight champion and this fight was notable for its female underdogs. Holly Vieira, who is also a top contender in the UFC women’s title fight at bantamweight, beat Holm to make it look like she might be next.

Vieira vs holly holmes
Holly Holmes' dominant performance in her return to the UFC was the highlight of a thrilling, hard-hitting women's MMA bout last night. In Round 1, the 30-year-old Brazilian scored a right hand and a spinning back elbow to take her opponent off her back. Holm didn't lose any momentum and continued forward. She soon found herself with a standing, rear-naked choke. Holm's panic triggered a flashback to her UFC 200 Hail Mary rear-naked choke loss against Miesha Tate. Holm managed a sneaky escape and turned the choke into a leglock.
Vieira struggled to adjust to the ring. Holly Holm was a year younger than Vieira, but her lack of experience resulted in her losing to a younger opponent. Plus, Vieira was younger, having made her MMA debut in 2011.
Vieira's latest record isn't as impressive. After beating Miesha Tate last December, she went a disappointing 2-2 in her last four fights. But she is still a leading contender for the Bantamweight championship. In the meantime, she could face Irene Aldana, Holly Holm, or even Raquel Pennington. She is currently ranked higher that Vieira, who won December's Bantamweight Championship.
