After coming up short as the No. 1 pick on the current season of “The Ultimate Fighter” reality series, Anna Melisano got another setback against Dione Barbosa at UFC Fight Night 281.
Barbosa (10-4 MMA, 4-2 UFC) gave Melisano (6-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) a rude welcome to the octagon Saturday at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City when she got the fight to her world in the grappling department. She locked in a standing rear-naked choke that led to the submission finish at the 4:04 mark of Round 1.
