It was difficult to determine who the winner was after last night's scorecards. Holm started with a great fight that featured many high-quality exchanges. It wasn't until Round 4 that the scores began to turn. Holm was able to come back with a win in round four after Vieira landed a massive left hand and a spinning elbow. Vieira however got some solid knees, and a big righthook in the same frame. However, the judges split the fight and Holm appeared to have an edge.
UFC Fight Night saw the women's bantamweight division on full display as Holm and Vieira met their first time. Holm was the bantamweight champion and was seeking to defend her title in UFC. Holm won a close five round split decision but Vieira was more comfortable grappling and outstripping Holm.

Holly Vieira, who is also a top contender in the UFC women’s title fight at bantamweight, beat Holm to make it look like she might be next.

Holly Holmes' dominant performance during her UFC return was the highlight in a thrilling, hard-hitting women’s MMA match last night. The 30-year-old Brazilian struck first in Round 1, scoring a right hand and spinning back elbow to put her opponent on her back. Holm kept pressing forward, despite her early momentum. Soon Holm was facing a standing rear naked choke. Holm's ensuing panic brought back memories of her infamous Hail Mary rear-naked choke loss to Miesha Tate at UFC 200. Holm managed, however, to lift her left arm and transform the choke into an anklelock.
Vieira was a struggle to adapt to the ring. She lost to Holly Holm because she wasn't as experienced, but her opponent was younger. Vieira, who made her MMA debut back in 2011, was also younger.
Vieira has not had a great record lately. In spite of beating Miesha Tate last December, Vieira went 2-2 in her next four fights. However, she is still a top contender for the Bantamweight belt. In the meantime she could face Holly Holm or Raquel Pennington. However, she currently ranks higher than Vieira (who won the Bantamweight crown in December).
