Rose Namajunas recorded a pivotal win on Saturday at UFC Vegas 89, as the former strawweight champ defeated flyweight contender, Amanda Ribas, in the main event.

Namajunas moved to flyweight last year but dropped a unanimous decision to Manon Fiorot in September. But, in Saturday’s headliner, Namajunas outscored Ribas en route to a unanimous decision victory.

The main card also saw surging heavyweight Karl Williams wrestle his way to a decision win over the hard-hitting, Justin Tafa, and Edmen Shahbazyan knocking out middleweight AJ Dobson, after taking some big shots early on.

Here are the complete results.
