Shauna Bannon

Mama B

Ireland

First submission win of career
StrawweightUFC
March 22, 2025
Bannon defeated Puja Tomar via submission (armbar) at 3:22 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in London.
ANALYSIS
It was an exciting, wild finish, which likely would have been the last thing most would have expected when this fight was announced. For what it's worth, there was next to nothing going on the first half of the bout, at which point Tomar fired off a head kick which dropped Bannon on the spot. She jumped on top and unloaded some follow-up blows, but "Mama B" survived and was eventually able to to roll into an armbar, forcing Tomar to tap out. It's the first submission victory of Shauna's career and would go on to earn her a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus. Bannon has won two straight (Tomar, Alice Ardelean), but it's highly unlikely to be a sign of things to come.

Earns first UFC victory
StrawweightUFC
July 27, 2024
Bannon defeated Alice Ardelean via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 30-27) at UFC 304 on Saturday in Manchester, England.
ANALYSIS
It was about the least technical bout you will ever see, but Bannon now has her first UFC victory under her belt. She took full advantage of Ardelean's struggles on the feet, landing a whopping 151 total strikes compared to just 80 from her opponent. Unfortunately, Bannon gave up a pair of takedowns and struggled on the mat. 30 years of age and with all of seven professional fights under her belt, Bannon's upside would appear quite limited despite the win here.
