BLOCKBUSTER BANTAMWEIGHT CONTENDERS’ BOUT! Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) departs APEX for a special “Fight Night” extravaganza at AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas, on Sat., March 25, 2023, featuring a pair of thrilling 135-pound bouts. Surging No. 4-ranked contender Marlon Vera goes for his fifth consecutive win when he takes on exciting finisher and No. 5-seeded Cory Sandhagen. In UFC San Antonio’s ESPN+-streamed co-main event, former women’s 135-pound champion and current No. 3-ranked Holly Holm battles Yana Santos (No. 4).
It didn’t take Eubanks long to impose her will and secure an early takedown. Reed tried to defend and wiggle her way free but Eubanks eventually worked her way into full mount. From there, “SarJ” landed heavy ground-and-pound to find the definitive finish.

This victory helps snap a two-fight losing streak for Eubanks and puts her back on track in her return to 125 pounds. Eubanks isn’t getting any younger at 36 years of age but she still has enough left in the tank to make a run up the very shallow women’s flyweight ladder.
