Iasmin Lucindo dominates Nicolle Caliari and wins on return from suspension

Iasmin Lucindo beat Nicolle Caliari by unanimous decision, 30-27 on all three cards, in the opening fight of UFC 333 in Abu Dhabi. The 24-year-old Brazilian returned after a doping suspension caused by cross-contamination in a supplement and now has six wins and two losses in the UFC. Caliari has won only one of her four UFC fights.

A abertura do card do UFC 333, neste sábado (24), em Abu Dhabi, nos Emirados Árabes Unidos, marcou o retorno de Iasmin Lucindo ao octógono depois de cumprir suspensão por doping — decorrente de contaminação cruzada em um suplemento — e a cearense superou Nicolle Caliari por decisão unânime, com triplo 30 a 27.

Uma das principais promessas do MMA feminino do país, a atleta de 24 anos chegou a seis triunfos e duas derrotas em oito apresentações no Ultimate e segue firme na busca por espaço na elite do peso-palha (52 kg). Já a paranaense vive situação delicada: contratada pelo Contender Series, venceu só um dos quatro combates que fez na organização e pode ter se despedido neste fim de semana.

O primeiro round foi de domínio brasileiro. Depois de um começo de estudo, Caliari partiu para cima e colou a adversária na grade, mas a defesa de Iasmin funcionou: a cearense virou o jogo, derrubou a rival e trabalhou por cima, chegando a passar a guarda. Nos minutos finais, tentou um golpe de capoeira, caiu numa tentativa de guilhotina bem defendida e ainda acertou uma cotovelada rodada.

No segundo assalto, Nicolle voltou com o mesmo ímpeto mesmo depois de o médico do evento examinar o corte na sobrancelha dela. Levou outra queda e ficou por baixo, recebendo socos e cotoveladas que deixaram seu rosto ensanguentado. No fim do período, as duas trocaram em pé, com vantagem da nordestina.

O terceiro round manteve o roteiro. Precisando virar o placar, Caliari foi para cima, terminou agarrada na grade e foi derrubada outra vez. Por baixo, tentou cotoveladas, mas viu a rival controlar o ritmo do combate e, na expressão usada na própria reportagem, "jogar com o regulamento embaixo do braço" até o gongo.
