Grounded by Ketlen Vieira
Chiasson lost to Ketlen Vieira via unanimous decision (28-29, 28-29, 27-30) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This was originally scheduled to be a bantamweight fight but was switched to featherweight after Vieira had weight-cutting issues. When all was said and done, the switch really appeared to impact Chiasson because she had no answers for the size and brute strength of her opponent. Macy gave up 10:06 worth of control time and spent nearly the entirety of the final two rounds on her back. She simply just didn't generate enough offense to potentially win a decision. Set to turn 34 years old in late-July, this felt like a victory Chiasson -- who entered having won three of four -- had to have.
