UFC on ESPN 35 Highlight Video: Shanna Young Pounds Out Gina Mazany

Shanna Young rebounded from a slow start to rally for a technical knockout victory against “The Ultimate Fighter 18” competitor Gina Mazany in a flyweight encounter at UFC on ESPN 35. A barrage of punches and elbows from back mount at the 3:11 mark of Round 2 propelled Young (8-4, 1-2 UFC) to her first Octagon triumph.

Mazany (7-6, 2-6 UFC) was the aggressor in the opening frame, as she pressed the action, sucked Young into the clinch and briefly buckled her foe with a knee in close quarters. Young began to settle in over the latter portion of Round 1 and continued that momentum into the second period, when she scrambled into top position after an attempted throw by Mazany. From there, the Syndicate MMA representative transitioned to Mazany’s back, flattened her out and hammered away with strikes. After a couple warnings to Mazany to defend herself, referee Jason Herzog decided he’d seen enough.
