Caliari finished Bannon with a head-and-arm choke at 3:08 of Round 3 in their women’s strawweight bout at UFC Fight Night 276 in Las Vegas.
The stoppage came after Caliari hurt Bannon on the feet, forced a throw that put Bannon on bottom, and controlled from top as damage mounted around Bannon’s left eye.
Caliari had already set the grappling tone in Round 1 with a big throw, side control and back control, but Bannon rallied in Round 2 with aggressive top work after stuffing takedowns.
The win moved Caliari to 9-4 in MMA and 1-2 in the UFC, while Bannon fell to 7-3 overall and 2-3 in the promotion.
