Tamires Vidal may have taken her time for her first walk to the UFC octagon, but she didn’t take long to get her first promotional win — and earn a spot in the record books in the process.
Vidal faced Ramona Pascual in the first bout of Saturday’s UFC Vegas 64 event, and she truly soaked in her walkout. The bout ended on the feet after a failed takedown attempt. Vidal hit Pascual with a knee, then backed up to land a jump knee. Referee Chris Tognoni jumped right in to stop it at the 3:06 mark of the opening round.

According to play-by-play commentator Brendan Fitzgerald, it was the third finish in women’s UFC history due to a knee to the body. Vidal has now won six straight bouts, and has stoppages in her three most recent outings.
With the loss, Pascual falls to 0-3 in the UFC.
