Unheralded when she entered The Ultimate Fighter competition, Macy Chiasson made a statement in her featherweight final against Pannie Kianzad, submitting her foe in the second round to win the TUF 28 crown.
Chiasson had a big opening round, as she was able to keep Kianzad locked up against the fence for much of the frame. Kianzad had success when she was able to get some space, but those moments were few and far between, and a missed late takedown nearly cost Kianzad, as Chiasson was able to take her back and nearly sink in a choke before the horn sounded.
In the opening minute of round two, Chiasson scored a knockdown and went to work for the finish, but Kianzad recovered quickly and nearly locked up the New Orleans native’s arm. But when Chiasson escaped, she took Kianzad’s back and sunk in the rear naked choke that forced Kianzad to tap out at 2:11 of the second round.
With the win, Chiasson moves to 4-0. Kianzad falls to 11-4.
