Bannon was likely ahead on the scorecards after one round, making the most of her reach advantage with long-range side kicks that had Tomar confused as to how to approach. In Round 2, Tomar still struggled to close the distance, but found an opening for a kick of her own that caught Bannon clean on the side of her head.

The shot dropped Bannon and Tomar followed with ground-and-pound, with referee Lukasz Bosacki moving in to take a close look at the action. He allowed the fight to continue and Bannon regained her bearings. Bannon then went to attack Tomar’s arm and despite valiant defense from the Indian fighter, Bannon sharply adjusted and finished the armbar at the 3:22 mark of the second round.

Bannon (7-1) improved to 2-1 in the UFC with her first-ever submission, while Tomar (9-5) falls to 1-1 after tapping out for the first time in her pro career.
