Pulls upset of Molly McCann
Brasil defeated Molly McCann via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28) at UFC 304 on Saturday in Manchester, England.
ANALYSIS
Entering as a +275 underdog in enemy territory, Brasil went out and passed this test with flying colors. Twice the size of her opponent and much better on the feet, Brasil rocked McCann twice to the body in Round 1 and nearly earned the stoppage. The fight was closer over the course of the final 10 minutes, but Brasil did a nice job of not allowing Molly to spend extended periods of times in a dominating position and cruised to the decision. A win over McCann doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things, but it does improves Brasil's UFC record to 2-2.

Heading into hostile territory
Brasil will take on Molly McCann in a strawweight matchup at UFC 304 on July 27, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Brasil is 1-2 iin the UFC, most recently dropping a unanimous decision to Loma Lookboonmee in February. She'll now walk into a hostile crowd, facing a Brit in an event that's tentatively scheduled to take place in Manchester, England. Brasil will be conceding a massive striking volume edge to McCann, who also has a slight advantage in terms of offensive wrestling volume. At the very least, Brasil will have slight height and reach advantages.

Inconsistent ways continue
Brasil lost to Loma Lookboonmee via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This fight was more competitive than many expected it to be. Both women landed one takedown. If you told Brasil that was going to be the case before the fight began, she certainly would have signed up. Ultimately, however, Brasil wasn't able to consistently win the striking exchanges between the two despite having a big size advantage. It's certainly worth noting Lookboonmee was by far the best opponent Bruna had faced to date. Sporting a 1-2 record in her first three UFC bouts, Brasil looks like nothing more than roster depth.
