5 biggest takeaways from UFC on ESPN+ 30: Benavidez’s dangerous plan, Gastelum’s skid, more

Thoughts and analysis of the biggest storylines coming out of UFC on ESPN+ 30, which took place Saturday in Abu Dhabi.

4. “Queen of Violence” finally reveals herself

It took until her fourth UFC fight, but finally [autotag]Ariane Lipski[/autotag] lived up to her moniker of being the “Queen of Violence” with one of the nastiest kneebar finishes in UFC history.

Lipski completely destroyed Luana Carolina’s leg just 88 seconds into their flyweight bout. She promised a knockout coming in, but this was equally, if not more impressive, mainly because of the angle in which she destroyed Carolina’s leg.

After a fine run in the Poland-based KSW organization where she became champion, Lipski’s UFC stint started badly with back-to-back losses. It seemed as though she might be a flop, but has turned things around in her past two. This performance against Carolina, who is no joke, was exactly why people were exited about her coming in, and hopefully that momentum can continue going forward.
