Even after her opponent came a bit over the weight limit, it didn’t stop Antonina from putting on a dominant performance in her UFC debut. Early on Antonina found her range and began to push Kim backwards with her Muay Thai pressure. Kim tried to box but had to over commit with every punch which left her susceptible for counter strikes. It took a while for Kim to get adjusted to the crisp striking of Antonina. Kim’s only highlight was when she staggered Antonina with her punch and made her move backwards there on. A clean and clear one sided victory for Antonina who could have won via TKO or KO but lacked the power in her strikes.
