LONDON – Shauna Bannon was in deep trouble before rallying to score her first UFC finish.
Just moments after getting dropped by a clean left high kick, Bannon (7-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) was able to whip up an armbar off her back and submit Puja Tomar (9-5 MMA, 1-1 UFC) at the 3:22 mark of Round 2 in their strawweight prelim bout at UFC Fight Night 255 on Saturday at The O2 in London.
