Cheyanne Buys vs. Gloria de Paula ended up being the co-main event. Shamil Abdurakhimov vs. Chris Daukaus was supposed to co-headline, but Kyung Ho Kang vs. Rani Yahya ended up replacing it only for that fight to be nixed due to Yahya testing positive for COVID-19.
The two fighters met in a bout on Saturday night (July 31, 2021) at the UFC Vegas 33 event from Las Vegas, Nevada at the UFC Apex facility.
In just one minute, Buys caught her getting up with a head kick then finished her on the ground with strikes.
