Al Iaquinta and Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone were the featured fighters at UFC on ESPN+ 9 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada on Saturday night, but there was a full slate of 12 bouts. The preliminary line-up featured six bouts, topped by Macy Chiasson vs. Sarah Moras at the Canadian Tire Centre.
When all was said and done, Chiasson continued storming through the UFC bantamweight division. She laid a heavy dose of ground and pound on Moras in the second round, forcing the referee to stop their feature bout at 2:22 of the second frame. Chiasson is now 5-0 as a professional and has won all three of her UFC bouts with finishes.
Also on the prelims, Vince Morales won a controversial decision over Aiemann Zahabi, the younger brother of longtime Georges St-Pierre trainer Firas Zahabi.
Check out the preliminary bout highlights from UFC on ESPN+ 9: Iaquinta vs. Cowboy in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
