Takes decision in Austin opener
Hardy defeated Jamey-Lyn Horth via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Austin, Texas.
ANALYSIS
Entering as a +165 underdog, Hardy dominated for ten minutes using her speed and quickness before Horth was able to slow the pace and generate some offense in the final frame. All told, both women landed exactly 43 significant strikes and one successful takedown. It's hard to believe one of the judges scored the fight for Horth given how effective Hardy was early on, but we've seen some weird decisions in Texas over the years. Hardy returned from a three-year layoff to take a unanimous decision from Juliana Miller last March, and now she has another victory here over Horth. It will be interesting to see how the 28-year-old fares when the competition level improves a bit.

Returning in December
Hardy will take on Jamey-Lyn Horth at the UFC event scheduled for December 2, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Hardy has bounced back well from losing her first three fights in the UFC, having now picked up a victory in two of her last three trips to the cage. She now draws Horth, who has relatively little MMA experience for a 33-year-old, although her endeavors have been successful. Horth improved to 6-0 as a pro following a unanimous decision victory over Haily Cowan in April. She landed 76 significant strikes over those 15 minutes, but was also taken down twice. Hardy, meanwhile, averages 3.35 significant strikes per minute, though she does absorb significantly more than that (4.38). She also averages 1.34 takedowns per 15 minutes of fight time, bolstered by her four-takedown effort in her victory over Juliana Miller in March.

Easy win in return from layoff
Hardy defeated Juliana Miller via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC 286 on Saturday in London.
ANALYSIS
Returning from a layoff of more than three years, Hardy couldn't have looked any better. She consistently landed significant strikes on the feet, while racking up plenty of control time on the mat as well. Hardy made some technical mistakes in terms of defending on the ground, but Miller -- who looked positively dreadful -- couldn't take advantage. Hardy is still just 27 years of age despite all the time away, so there's plenty of time for her to get her career back on track.

Set for March fight
Macedo will take on Juliana Miller in a flyweight matchup at UFC 286 on March 18, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Macedo hasn't had a UFC bout since March of 2020, and she has lost four of her last five decisions dating back to 2016. Miller made her UFC debut on Aug. 6, 2022, and she defeated Brogan Walker by TKO.

Struggles continue in Brasilia
Macedo lost to Bea Malecki via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Brasilia, Brazil.
ANALYSIS
Macedo's quick start was sabotaged by a poor gas tank and reckless striking defense. Her offensive thrusts got slower and slower as the fight progressed and she was credited with just 65 strikes landed on a whopping 186 attempts. She also failed on all six of her takedown attempts. It was a performance that started promisingly and quickly tuned into a disaster for the Venezuelan. Macedo is just 24 years of age but she is quickly running out of chances with the company. She is just 1-3 since her September 2016 debut and appears to be legitimately regressing.
