**UFC 302 results: Ailin Perez wins grudge match against Joselyne Edwards**
Ailin Perez defeated Joselyne Edwards by unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) in their women’s bantamweight fight. Perez celebrated with her “signature twerk.” An official timeout was called in the second round after Edwards was called for a headbutt, although she did not get a point penalty. Perez responded with a spinning fist after the restart that hit Edwards in the face and knocked her down. Perez controlled the fight and had several takedowns of Edwards. There’s no love lost between Perez and Edwards. A war of words came to blows when they got into a fight ahead of UFC Fight Night 232 in Las Vegas in November, where Perez was scheduled to fight Lucie Pudilova days later. The UFC didn’t discipline Perez and Edwards for the fight outside the ring and instead set up Saturday’s match. At the start of the fight, Perez reached out her hand to tap gloves with Edwards, who did not return the gesture. But the two hugged it out afterwards, appearing to quash their beef.
**UFC 302 results: Andre Lima def. Mitch Raposo**
Andre Lima will remain undefeated. Lima came out of the gate strong and delivered power kick after power kick to Raposo’s body. Lima landed 23 leg kicks and 13 significant head strikes on Raposo across three rounds. Raposo, on the other hand, had 30 significant head strikes on Lima, but it was not enough to win the flyweight bout. Lima was deemed the winner by split decision, which came as a surprise to broadcasters Jon Anik, Daniel Cormier, and Joe Rogan, who all felt Lima should have swept the cards handily.
