Chelsea Hackett won’t be joining the UFC, at least at this stage. Earlier today, the Melbourne-born MMA fighter took part in Dana White’s Contender Series 36, but failed to go through Victoria Leonardo.
Hackett was quite successful in Round 1, lading a number of leg kicks. Leonardo, however, claimed the win via stoppage in the second with punches, when the referee saw enough and called it a day at 4:41, although the Australian was not quitting.
You can watch Hackett vs Leonardo fight video highlights below.
