UFC on ESPN 28 video: Cheyanne Buys’ perfectly timed head kick stops Gloria de Paula
Cheyanne Buys needed just 60 seconds to dispatch Gloria de Paula in highlight reel fashion in the UFC on ESPN 28 co-main event.
After a dominant loss in her UFC debut earlier this year, Buys (6-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC) was eager to redeem herself against de Paula (5-4 MMA, 0-2 UFC) after switching camps and changing her attitude toward the fight game.
