Randa Markos made history in a dubious way Saturday at UFC on ESPN 23.
Markos (10-11-1 MMA, 6-10-1 UFC) became the first female in UFC history to hit 10 octagon losses when she was disqualified for an illegal upkick in her strawweight bout with Luana Pinheiro.
After a firefight to start the contest, Markos found herself on her back. In the midst of a scramble, she blasted Pinheiro (9-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) with a kick to the jaw that sent her flying backward.
It was immediately clear the Brazilian was hurt as the impact of the blow settled in. Just moments later, referee Mark Smith waved it off for the disqualification at the 4:16 mark of Round 1.
