UFC Fight Night 122 results: Gina Mazany dominates Yanan Wu for sweep and first UFC win

Gina Mazany threw everything she had at Yanan Wu, but couldn’t seem to get rid of her.

Instead, Mazany (5-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) had to settle for a win on the scorecards, dominating Wu (9-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) in all three rounds to take the unanimous decision victory with scores of 30-27 across the board.

The women’s bantamweight bout was part of the preliminary card of today’s UFC Fight Night 122 event at Mercedes-Benz Arena in Shanghai. It streamed on UFC Fight Pass.

Wu got off to a fast start, but it was Mazany who soon took control of the fight. With her takedowns and strong top control game, Mazany seemed to wear Wu down with a steady ground-and-pound attack early on, then hurt her with a solid head kick when the fight returned to the feet.

Wu did her best to battle back into the fight, trying to work from the clinch despite repeated warnings from referee Marc Goddard about holding the fence to aid her assault. But near the end of the second, Wu seemed to suffer a shoulder injury that left her complaining to her corner before the final frame.

Mazany took the fight to Wu once more in that last round, taking her down again and shrugging off her submission attempts while peppering her with strikes on the mat. Wu kept battling until the end, but by then their was little doubt as to the result. Once the scores were tallied, all three judges had it as a clean sweep for Mazany.

Mazany’s win is her first in two tries with the UFC. Wu’s loss snaps a two-fight winning streak outside the UFC.
