Tereza Bleda
Ronda

Routed in Vegas opener
Bleda lost to Jamey-Lyn Horth via TKO (punches) at 2:05 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It should go without saying, but lasting barely two minutes against Horth despite entering as upwards of a -250 favorite is a terrible look for Bleda. Bleda spent the vast majority of the brief bout attempting to complete a takedown along the fence. It never landed, and she was popped with a couple of big shots by Horth when the two finally separated. Bleda was never able to recover. Bleda has plenty of time to recover from this setback considering she turned just 24 years old in late-November, but it's going to take some time. She falls to 1-2 in her first three UFC fights.

Secures first UFC victory
Bleda defeated Gabriella Fernandes via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC on ESPN 47 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
There were plenty of positive signs from Bleda in her first UFC victory. She landed three takdowns for 10:51 worth of control time and displayed some vicious ground-and-pound from top position. This should have been a routine decision, at which point Bleda appeared to tire in Round 3 and found herself getting picked apart along the fence. She appeared to be at real risk of getting finished, at which point she pushed forward for a takedown and muscled Fernandes to the mat, eliminating the threat. A product of Dana White's Contender Series, Bleda won't be 22 years of age until the very end of November, so all that really matters at this point is she remains healthy and gets repeated reps inside the Octagon.
