Stephanie Bruna Luciano - News & Rumors - UFC | FOX Sports

Submission win in Belgrade opener Luciano defeated Marina Spasic via submission (rear-naked choke) at 3:30 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Belgrade, Serbia.

Impact It was another strong performance from Luciano against a debuting Spasic. The Brazilian was content to let things develop on the feet for a few minutes, but once she decided to get her grappling game going, the fight was essentially over in an instant. This was a bout Luciano was expected to win, but at least she was able to do so both quickly and in impressive fashion. A decision machine early in her professional career, Luciano has racked up back-to-back submission wins in her last two appearances. She appears to be legitimately improving each time out.

Stephanie kept things simply and didn't take many chances, knowing she had her opponent outclassed most everywhere. She won nearly all the striking exchanges and chipped in three takedowns for good measure. Luciano was well on her way to winning a decision before finding the submission midway through Round 3. The Brazilian won't turn 26 years of age until mid-December and has one of the higher ceilings in the 115-pound female division.
