Picks up first UFC victory
Petrovic defeated Na Liang via submission (arm-triangle choke) at 1:29 of Round 3 at UFC on ESPN 55 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Petrovic was the largest favorite on the card in some spots at upwards of (-500), and while she ended up with a submission victory, she looked thoroughly mediocre the vast majority of this fight. Liang was in firm control early on, at which point she did what she always does -- gas out. Ivana was there to pick up the pieces, overwhelming her opponent in Round 2 before choking her out early in the final frame. Petrovic improves to 1-1 in the UFC but will need to show more her next time out against what will almost certainly be a better opponent than she faced here.

Petrovic lost to Luana Carolina via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS

In terms of total strikes landed, Petrovic found herself trailing by a 112-77 count. Ivana entered the evening with victories in each of her first six professional bouts, including five via stoppage, but this performance doesn't give much hope she will be able to make a significant impact at the highest level.
