Nadia Kaseem took on Ji Yeon Kim in a women fly weight fight in the early prelims of UFC 243 in Melbourne. here is the UFC 243 Results for Ji Yeon Kim vs Nadia Kaseem.

The south korean fighter, Ji Yeon Kim rose to the occasion in front of nearly 60000 people in the Marvel Stadium and put on a hell of a show for the fight fans.

We have seen fights getting finished in the very last moment of quite a few time. The fight between Yair Rodriguez and Korean Zombie comes to mind when Rodriguez knocked out his opponent with a beautiful elbow from the back. Well, it was a much different scenario in this fight between Kaseem and Yeon Kim. Kim was pouring it on Kaseem for the last few seconds of the second round.

Kaseem was hurt badly as she was not able to defend the shots coming from Kin properly. It was a vicious jab that snapped back Kaseem’s head and it was the beginning of the end. Ji Yeon Kim saw the opportunity and landed some heavy shots to the head and a couple of shots to the body as Kaseem tried to curl and save herself from more damage.

Kaseem did show some heart against his own nation and tried to weather the storm. She tried to get some offense going with a leg kick. However, Kim’s body shots were just one too many for Kaseem as the referee stopped the fight at 4.59 of round 2.

With this win, Fire Fist, Ji Yeon Kim has improved his record to 10-2 and is likely to get a much bigger fight the next time. On the other hand, Nadia Kaseem is still very young and she sowed a lot of heart in front of her nation. With fights like this in the early prelims one thing can be assured that the action just gets more intense from here.
