EXCITING MIDDLEWEIGHT MATCHUP! Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to its APEX venue in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sat., April 6, 2024, with an action-packed, five-round main event featuring No. 7-seeded 185-pound contender, Brendan Allen, running it back with No. 14-ranked Chris Curtis. “Action Man” — who is filling in for the “freak” injured Marvin Vettori — scored an upset win over Allen back in 2021 (watch it). In UFC Vegas 90’s ESPN+-streamed co-main event, former Featherweight hopeful, Alexander Hernandez, looks to get back on track at the expense of dangerous Octagon veteran, Damon Jackson.
Whitmire was in control in the early going after scoring two sweeping takedowns. Goldy was able to keep Whitmire off her back and regained full mount. That’s when Goldy was able to throw up the armbar attempt and start cranking on Whitmire’s arm. Whitmire tried to defend, but she eventually gave up.

Goldy, who came into this matchup riding a two-fight losing streak, now has her first win since 2019. She also nabs her first UFC victory and finish. The 29-year-old prospect is pretty talented so it will be interesting to see if she can use this performance to find some sort of consistency inside of the Octagon.
