UFC debut KO goes viral

Shanelle Dyer stopped Ravena Oliveira by TKO at 1:17 of Round 2 in the opening bout of UFC Fight Night: Evloev vs. Murphy at The O2 Arena in London on March 21, 2026. The finish came after Dyer landed a head kick, followed by a left hook, a right and a flurry of knees that left Oliveira wobbling and exposed to ground‑and‑pound. Dyer’s record improved to 7‑1 overall and 1‑0 in the UFC with the win, after entering the night 6‑1 following a September 9, 2025 Dana White’s Contender Series decision loss to Carol Foro that nevertheless led to a UFC contract.. Oliveira entered the fight at 7‑4‑1 as a pro and 0‑3 in the UFC, and had returned from a roughly two‑year absence in October 2025 before matching up with Dyer in London.. Dyer, 24 (born April 23, 2001), brings a heavy striking pedigree — more than 100 Muay Thai/K‑1 bouts and roughly 27 amateur and professional striking titles — a background cited repeatedly in her UFC preview pieces.. Major outlets and the promotion posted the highlight and technical breakdowns within hours of the finish — including MMA Junkie, LowKick MMA and Cageside Press — and the full fight replay is available via the UFC/Paramount+ clip for the event..
