Carli Judice continued her impressive momentum in the women’s flyweight division at UFC Fight Night 285 on Saturday in Sacramento. The fighter secured her fourth consecutive victory by defeating Jeisla Chaves in the opening round at Golden 1 Center. The decisive finish came just before the five-minute mark when Judice’s striking proved too much for her opponent to withstand.
The turning point arrived when Judice delivered a powerful strike to Chaves’ midsection that created an opening. Following the initial blow, she followed up with a barrage of punches that led to the referee stopping the contest at 4:39 of Round 1. For Chaves, who entered the bout undefeated, the loss marked her first career defeat in mixed martial arts competition.
Judice, now with a professional record of 7-2 and 4-1 inside the UFC, has firmly established herself as a rising contender in her weight class. After struggling in her initial promotional appearance, the fighter has demonstrated significant growth through her recent winning streak. Following her victory, Judice expressed her ambitions during the post-fight interview, calling for opportunities against higher-ranked opponents and stating her desire to continue competing at a competitive level.
