Nets contract with slick submission
Barbosa defeated Rainn Guerrero via submission (armbar) at 4:35 of Round 1 at Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series. After the show, she was one of five fighters to be awarded an official UFC contract.
ANALYSIS
Given Barbosa's prowess on the ground, it was a bit odd to see Guerrero willingly chase takedowns and grappling exchanges. While she held her own for as long as she could, a moment of overaggressiveness allowed "The WItch" to snatch the arm as the first frame was winding to a close. Flyweight is a division with its share of fun, tireless grapplers, so Barbosa should fit in nicely as she attempts to find her footing and claim status as a contender.
